Transgender Men and Women in 2015: Employed, Unemployed, or Not in the Labor Force
This study used data from the 2015 US Transgender Survey, which gathered information from the largest sample of trans individuals to date. High labor force participation rates and high unemployment rates were found for both trans men and women. However, women were more likely to be out of the labor force and less likely to be employed than men. The unemployment rate of trans women was greater than that of trans men with otherwise similar characte…
The incidence of self-employment by sexual orientation
The labor force status of transgender men and women
This study uses data from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey to explore the labor force status of transgender men and women. The data suggest that transgender individuals tend to have higher unemployment rates than those reported elsewhere for the general U.S. population. Differences in the distributions of labor force statuses of transgender men and women were found; women were more likely to be out of the labor force, while men were…
A note on the median voter theory and voter alienation
This note explores the consequences of movement of candidates toward the center of the political distribution. Uniform and normal distributions are considered. Movement toward the center of the political distribution can increase or decrease the number of votes received by a candidate. However, even if the candidate loses votes by such a move, as long as the distribution is denser in the center than in the tails, the candidate will benefit relati…
Labour Force Status and Sexual Orientation
This study explores the probabilities of being employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force, for men and women in same‐sex couples and married and unmarried opposite‐sex couples. Same‐sex partners were more likely to be unemployed than married opposite‐sex partners but less likely than unmarried opposite‐sex partners. Laws prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination had positive and larger effects on unemployment for same‐sex partners than…
The relationship between hours worked and partner's disability in opposite‐ and same‐sex couples
When a partner is disabled and not in the labour force, the need for earnings provided by the non-disabled partner increases. However, the disabled partner's need for care raises the value of time spent at home by the non-disabled partner. The direction of the relation between partner disability and hours worked varies with couple type because connecting links are affected by couple type. Relevant issues include foregone earnings, amount of incom…
Home-ownership among opposite- and same-sex couples in the US
This paper explores the home-ownership implications of legal issues pertaining to marital status and of discrimination based on sexual orientation or marital status using United States 2000 Decennial Census data. Interesting differences are found between couple types in the effects of several variables. Same-sex couples are more likely than unmarried opposite-sex couples to own rather than rent homes but less likely to do so than married couples.…
