Race, Labor Turnover, and Male Earnings Mimeo, Community and Organization Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, 1979 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Community and Organization Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara Keyword(s): Earnings; Layoffs; Life Cycle Research; Mobility; Quits; Racial Differences; Wage Gap; Work History Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The relationship between racial differences in labor turnover and the racial wage differential is analyzed. Since job mobility has important effects on the earnings distribution, any racial differences in life cycle work histories can be expected to have strong effects on the racial wage gap. Using the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young and Older Men, it is found that racial differences in quit and layoff probabilities and in the pecuniary gains to mobility are responsible for a significant portion of the racial wage differential. |
