Race, Turnover, and Male Earnings Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society 23,1 (January 1984): 73-89. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-232X.1984.tb00876.x/abstract Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Earnings; Layoffs; Quits; Racial Differences; Work History Data from the NLS of Young Men and Older Men are used to determine whether job histories differ significantly by race and whether differences translate into substantial wage differentials. Results show that quit (layoff) rates among young men are significantly higher (lower) for whites than for blacks. No racial turnover differential appears among mature men. Monetary gains to a turnover event (quit, layoff, or staying on the job) are higher for white young men than for black young men. Among mature men, whites have larger wage growth rates if they stay on the job, but no significant racial differential appears for quitters or for laid off workers. These differences between young blacks and whites lead to substantial changes in the black/white wage differential. |
