Racial Discrimination and Occupational Choice: Estimates Based on a Sample of Young Men Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1979 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Assets; Career Patterns; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Earnings; Job Search; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The study employs data from the NLS of Younger Men for l970 and l975 to examine the economic and social factors that account for black-white earnings differentials and to determine how the effect of these socio-economic factors differ depending on the individual's chosen career path and parental background. Single equation earnings models that allow variable interactions between race, occupation, and socio-economic background are estimated, and racial, occupational, and social class differentials in the determinants of earnings are examined cross- sectionally and through time. Because the study employs a longitudinal sample of younger men, black-white differentials in the returns to training and experience (both general and firm-specific) are measured directly and possible racial differences in the level of OJT are explicitly quantified. |
