The Impact of Advance Notice
N our recent study (ILR Review, July 1991), using data from the 1988 CPS Displaced Workers Survey, we found that workers who were given at least 60 days' written advance notification of layoffs due to plant closings or relocations had significantly lower reemployment earnings losses and a lower probability of experiencing positive unemployment spells than did other workers. The implication from the results of our study was that the hardships suff…
The Impact of Advance Notice of Plant Closings on Earnings and the Probability of Unemployment
The authors analyze data from the 1988 CPS Displaced Workers Survey to assess the effects of written advance notice of plant closings on post-displacement employment and earnings. The results suggest that notification was effective in reducing reemployment earnings losses and the probability of post-displacement unemployment only when it was given at least two months before the plant closing. This finding, the authors conclude, confirms that the …
Service Industries, Two-Working Spouse Families, and the Distribution of Earnings in Metropolitan Areas
The results of this analysis suggest that employment in service industries acts as a double-edged sword on earnings inequality. On the one hand, we find that as the percentage of total civilian employment in service industries rises, the inequality in earnings among individuals increases. On the other hand, as the concentration of employment in service industries rises, the inequality in earnings among individuals intact husband-wife families is …

An Analysis of the Economic Impact of the Service Sector on Underemployment in Major Metropolitan Areas in the United States
In this study unique measures of underemployment are used to investigate the impact of the service sector on underemployment in a cross-sectional, multivariate analysis of large metropolitan areas in the United States. Underemployment is measured by the inability of labour market participants to earn poverty-level incomes over a full-year (with a separate underemployment measure for each possible cause: low wages; involuntary part-time employment…
Urban Income Distribution, City Size, and Urban Growth
A recent study by Haworth, Long, and Rasmussen (1978) developed the monopoly hypothesis and presented supporting empirical evidence that suggest the Gini measure of total income inequality rises with urban size and growth. This study extends the monopoly hypothesis to apply to the inequality in racial earnings. After controlling for other important factors in a regression analysis on the 125 SMSAs with 1970 populations exceeding 250,000, our resu…
Urban Income Distribution and the Urban Hierarchy-Equality Hypothesis
Income Inequality and City Size
A N important and growing interest among scholars is the examination of the relationship of the size distribution of income to city size. Such information is critical to the development of urban growth policies and to our understanding of living costs, poverty, and public expenditures in urban areas. Previous studies of this relationship have been motivated by one of the following distinct, although not mutually exclusive, hypotheses: (1) the occ…
Refined Racial Discrimination
Though the preceding findings are not conclusive, 9 they are strongly supportive of the refined discrimination hypothesis and closely parallel Long’s conclusions in his study of job discrimination in the federal government
