| Sumario: | This article analyses the transnational occupational mobility of argentines in Spain, from the last employment in origin to the first in destination. The article focuses on three different migratory flows: political exile (1975-1983), the first economic migration (1984-1999) and the last one (2000-2007). The National Immigrant Survey conducted in Spain in 2007 provided the statistical data. The results proved that immigrants did not improve the employment status they had before emigrating; on the contrary, they experienced downward mobility from a higher position in Argentina. In addition, we found a better employment of older migration flows, specially exiles, due to structural factors such as migration policy and the structure of the labor market and, to a lesser extent, individual factors such as educational level, sex or age of migrants. |
