Race discrimination and segregation in manufacturing jobs
In a testing (auditing) field experiment, African American and Latinx job seekers with equal qualifications applied simultaneously for manufacturing and warehouse employment at a representative sample of 60 Chicago-area temporary staffing agencies. Agencies offered jobs to African Americans at only 75% the rate of Latinx. They also segregated 82% of jobs, offering them only to one group or the other. In 65% of tests – nearly two-thirds – agencies…
Developing the Research Basis for Controlling Bias in Hiring
Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, disability, gender orientation, and other characteristics continues to distort employers’ hiring decisions and thereby limit employment opportunities for historically excluded groups. Research in psychology, sociology, economics, and management provides insights concerning the mechanisms of bias and interventions to mitigate their effects, but important questions remain. The i…
Employment discrimination in upscale restaurants
White and racial minorities with equal qualifications applied simultaneously for 43 waiter/waitress jobs in New York City fine dining restaurants. Applicants of all demographic backgrounds were treated with equal courtesy, but minorities were only 54% as likely as whites to receive a job offer. This discrimination, either conscious or unconscious, was documented in 31% of restaurants tested. Post-hiring differences appear even more widespread, wi…

Worker Ownership and Participation Enhances Economic Development in Low-Opportunity Communities
This study empirically estimates that worker ownership and participation modestly but importantly enhances the ability of firms to create ''mainstream'' employment in low-opportunity communities, both urban and rural. It is also associated with community development benefits not commonly provided by conventionally organized firms. In such forms as employee-owned firms and marketing cooperatives, worker ownership and participation should be more w…
Measuring Employment Discrimination through Controlled Experiments
Race/ethnic discrimination in hiring can be measured under controlled conditions using matched pairs of minority and nonminority research assistants posing as applicants for the same job. In 149 in-person job applications in the Washington, D.C., labor market, African American applicants were treated less favorably than equally qualified nonminorities more than one-fifth of the time. Employer behavior during these interactions suggest that, withi…
Privatizing the Delivery of Social Welfare Services
The Role of Public Programs and Private Markets in Reemploying Displaced Workers
This paper is about the reemployment difficulties of "mainstream" workers dislocated in mid-career by structural economic change. Contrary to popular assumptions, empirical evidence suggests that most workers in this category do not encounter extraordinary reemployment difficulties.For those that do, the root problem is not dislocation per se but rather such well-known failures of the private labor market as geographic immobility, underinvestment…

National Industrial Policy and Economically Distressed Communities
Industrial policy refers to deliberate government actions to affect the growth or decline of firms or industries for the sake of aggregate national prosperity and international competitiveness. This paper presents empirical evidence that policies designed to promote these objectives would be targeted differently from those designed to promote development of economically‐distressed regions and communities. Facing multiple objectives, it is difficu…

The Literacy of Welfare Clients
About 75 percent of the U.S. poverty population can offer reading skills at no higher than an eighth-grade level. The procedures and documents of many public welfare agencies require far higher levels of skill; in a sample of eighty-one documents, only 11 percent were judged accessible to those with eighth-grade skills. This mismatch contributes to high administrative error rates as well as hampering enrollment by clients and equitable distributi…
