In the first stage, a city measure of discrimination is constructed using the Oaxaca decomposition method. The second stage then utilizes these estimated measures of discrimination as a dependen…

Race and Rehiring in the High-Tech Industry
Previous research reveals that economic dislocation generates racial inequality because minorities suffer greater consequences from job displacement—longer unemployment duration and greater downward mobility. These outcomes, however, are conditional on being permanently laid off. This article examines the factors, including race, that influence whether or not a worker becomes displaced. More specifically, the article analyzes the probability of b…
Vacancies, Unemployment, and Black and White Wage Earnings
Utilizing recent developments in the literature on vacancies and unemployment, the effects of changes in the vacancy to unemployment ratio on black and white wage earnings are examined. The primary result argues that black women's wage earnings are less sensitive to changes in the national vacancy to unemployment ratios than white earnings. Another way of interpreting this result is that black women are not experiencing wage gains when new jobs a…

This study uses administrative data from California's unemployment insurance program to analyze the post-layoff earnings of displaced and recalled workers in Silicon Valley's semiconductor industry between 1984 and 1987. The authors find losses from inter-sectoral displacement that are consistent with losses found in other studies of job dislocation. The results show, however, that displaced workers who found work within the high-technology secto…

Desired Residential Mobility in a Low Income Ethnic Community
This article examines the social and economic underpinnings of desired residential mobility in an ethnic community. Using interview survey data, desired residential mobility in Chinatown was examined using social theories of urban location regarding ethnic settlement and neighborhood homogeneity. Residents want to stay not because it is an ideal place of residence, but because of social, economic, and language disadvantages relative to white Amer…
