Critical Junctures and Path Dependence in Sentencing Policy
This paper presents a case study of sentencing policy in the adjoining, and demographically and culturally similar, states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Using administrative data, together with historical and legal analyses of sentencing policy in each state, it (1) argues that the destabilization of the penal order represented a critical juncture during which commission‐based, presumptive sentencing guidelines were an option in both states; (2) an…
Occupational Career Change and Gender Wage Inequality
This article examines the relationship between the changing occupational careers of female wage earners and gender wage inequality. Using Current Population Survey-Merged Outgoing Rotation Group data, it assesses the effect on the gender wage gap of changes in the composition and price both of care-providing occupations that are culturally associated with female labor and of managerial and professional occupations that are not part of the care ec…
Leaving Science
This study investigates gender differences in the postdisplacement experience of nonacademic science and engineering (S&E) workers. Using a pooled sample created from the Displaced Worker Surveys conducted between 1994 and 2008, it finds that (1) this S&E work force is particularly vulnerable to job loss and potential career disruption; (2) displaced female S&E workers are more likely than comparable male workers to exit the work force, a gender …
The Locus of Racial Disadvantage in the Labor Market
Using a pooled sample constructed from recent installments of the Displaced Workers Survey, this study examines the racial disparities in postdisplacement outcomes while controlling for the predisplacement experience and earnings of individual workers. It finds no racial difference in the reemployment wage, but there is a large racial disparity in the chances of reemployment among workers with equivalent characteristics and experience. This lower…
The Limits of Paternalism
This paper uses a pooled sample constructed from the Food Stamp Quality Control data for the fiscal years 1993 to 2006 to assess the effects of welfare reform upon the employment, earnings, income, and poverty trends among poor, single-mother families, both in Wisconsin and nationwide. It finds that the employment and earnings gains of the Wisconsin families exceed those of comparable families nationwide. However, there has been no significant ch…
Taking Managers Back Out
This paper documents changes over the period 1982 to 1997 in the risks and costs of involuntary job loss among different occupational groups. Using data from the Displaced Workers Surveys, it shows that the rate of job loss increased among white-collar workers. This increased displacement risk results from the growing proportion of jobs lost because positions or shifts were abolished, a reason that likely captures the much-publicized effects of c…
Two Tales of a City
In January 1988, Chrysler Corporation announced it would close its Kenosha assembly plant. Community leaders and residents feared economic catastrophe, A year later, despite the social costs of the shutdown, many of the same leaders were proclaiming Kenosha a boomtown. This paper examines the uneven development in Kenosha and explores the ideological assumptions behind current initiatives as well as the social costs. Public policies of other comm…
Industrial Change and Urban Joblessness
An ecological analysis of the relationship between a changing urban labor market and the employment status of blacks and nonblacks, both male and female, is presented in this article. The results indicate that the urban black work force is increasingly concentrated in areas with low employment growth, that differences in the level of local labor-market demand are more important than the sectoral composition of that demand for understanding racial…
The Nature and Unequal Incidence of Job Displacement Costs
Structural changes in industry annually displace millions of American workers. As concern over this displacement phenomenon has increased, so too has the effort to define and measure its social costs. Using data from the 1984 and 1986 Displaced Workers Survey, this paper critically examines how displacement has been defined, its costs measured, and its associated joblessness interpreted. The findings are that: (1) the official definition of the d…
Are Women Workers 'Hard to Organize
This article examines the male-female difference in propensity to unionize. Logit analysis is used to estimate a series of voter predisposition equations for the unorganized employees included in a national survey of working conditions. Measures of employee background, labor force location, and family responsibilities are included as explanatory variables. The results indicate that women are more likely than men to desire union representation, a …
