Construction apprenticeships and economic mobility
Apprenticeship Program Performance and Macroeconomic Fluctuations
Apprenticeship training in construction is an important source of human capital investment for workers, employers, and society. We address the extent to which macroeconomic fluctuations such as building booms and recessions affect apprenticeship completion rates—an important indicator of program performance. Using data from the U.S. Department of Labor, we find that one of the most important determinants of performance is a measure of macroeconom…
Unintended Consequences of Nevada’s Ninety-Percent Prevailing Wage Rule
In 2015, the State of Nevada reduced prevailing wage rates on education-related construction to 90 percent of the applicable rate for other state-funded construction. The examination of projects built for Clark County School District between 2009 and 2108 indicates that Nevada’s wage policy has no statistically significant effect on school construction costs or bid competition, taking into consideration bids placed before and after the 2015 polic…
Mobility and Gender in a Segmented Labor Market
Male and female workers' labor segment location and intersegment mobility processes are compared to assess the existence and nature of inequalities in the structure of labor market opportunity. Findings indicate significant differences in segment location, upward occupational mobility and opportunity structures across gender groups

Racial Differences in Intersegment Mobility
This article is an exploration of racial differences in the intersegment mobility process in a segmented labor market. To this end, a series of qualitative response models describing mobility of prime-age white and nonwhite males through a tripartite segmented labor market is constructed. It is found that demand variables representing labor market conditions, as well as traditional human capital variables are important predictors of intersegment …
