The link between male employment and child maltreatment in the U.S., 2000–2012
Comment on “Funding Pain
Introduction
The United States entered one of its deepest recessions in the late 2000s—workers faced jobs that were not coming back, long-term unemployment, and increased economic insecurity. These severe problems emphasize the need for government workforce initiatives. Yet investments in comprehensive employment and training policies have declined in real terms by nearly 70 percent since 1979. This article discusses this evolution, with a focus on the persis…
Jewish Displacement of Irish Americans in Vaudeville
During the second half of the nineteenth century, Irish Americans had a prominent if not dominant position in commercial vaudeville, but by the second decade of the next century they had a minor position. This paper documents that decline and focuses on the role that anti-pleasure Irish Catholic teachings played in it. When commercial vaudeville moved away from Victorian standards, it dramatically changed the way it was viewed by practicing Catho…

Welfare Reform
Why Welfare Reform Critics Went Astray
This article documents how welfare policies improved the material well‐being of the majority of welfare leavers during the economic boom. Critics ignored these broad gains and instead inflated the adverse effects on the poorest mothers and the role of conservative ideologies in promoting welfare reform. Critics also relied on older studies that proved to be poor guides to predicting the impact of welfare reform. In addition, critics did not accur…
Rethinking Poles and Jews
Since Polish Catholics embraced some anti-Jewish notions and actions prior to WWII, many intertwined the Nazi death camps in Poland with Polish anti-Semitism. As a result, more so than local non-Jewish population in other Nazi-occupied countries, Polish Catholics were considered active collaborators in the destruction of European Jewry. Through the presentation of these negative images in Holocaust literature, documentaries, and teaching, these s…
Contentious History
Assessing welfare reform data
This paper responds to Karen Christopher's recent Feminist Economics paper that posits that welfare leavers did not benefit much financially during the Clinton-era economic boom. On the contrary, this paper finds that child poverty rates declined dramatically as did material hardships while the situation worsened for only a very small share of mothers. These benefits came as a result of welfare reform rather than simply an outgrowth of the boomin…
The Economic Boom (1991-1997) and Women
This essay considers changes in various earnings ratios between 1991 and 1997. The female-to-male earnings ratio increased in every region primarily because of the wage growth of women in occupations that required some college education and the disproportional growth of women employed in those occupations. The earnings gap between those working in college-required and those working in no-college-required occupations grew among women but decreased…

Holocaust Historiography
U. S. cold-war interests have had a significant impact on historical writings concerning the roles of various groups during the World War II destruction of European Jewry. These writings focus, for example, on the Catholic Church's actions in saving children, rather than on the antisemitic pronouncements of Church leaders and their indifference to the killing of Jews during and immediately after the war. Holocaust historiography understates the a…
Black Male Employment and Tight Labor Markets
Rational Choice and the Price of Marriage
This paper accepts the thesis that marriage decisions reflect rational behavior based on weighing benefits and costs. It develops a concept of a marriage price that measures the excess services one spouse provides to the other when there are differences in the number of men and women seeking marriage partners. This price includes income, time allocation to household activities, and control over forms of intimacy and beauty styles. In contrast to …
The Treatment of Racial and Sexual Discrimination in Economics Journals and Economics Textbooks
This article examines two decades of scholarly literature on discrimination and two decades of discussion of discrimination in economics textbooks. At first discrimination was taken seriously and policy responses adequate to the problem were advocated. Today this is a minority position. The article first traces the way that JEL policies concerning indexing and abstracting have contributed to this change. Next textbooks are analyzed to show how th…

While shaving every morning, my father used to sing Joe Hill's anti-clerical song about the "long-haired preachers" who When asked about something to eat/ They would answer in voices so sweet,/ "You will eat, bye and bye/ In that glorious land above the sky/ Way up high./ Work and pray, live on hay,/ You'll get pie in the sky, when you die."/ That's a lie.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are…
