1.	Impact of Metropolitan Residential Segregation on the Employment Chances of Blacks and Whites in the U.S. Working Paper, School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers University, 2009.

Most tests of residential segregation's role in creating employment inequality between blacks and whites have focused on neighborhood characteristics (e.g. mean SES or distance from job centers), whereas this study considers the broader structure of residential segregation in which neighborhoods are situated and its implication in black/white disparities in access to employment opportunities. The study employs multilevel analyses and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to test the effects of metropolitan segregation in 1979 on respondents' probability of being employed by 1990 net of individual and family level characteristics, and to assess the role of segregation in explaining the race gap in employment between blacks and whites. The analyses reveal that residential segregation decreases employment odds for blacks and not for whites and explains the residual race gap in the probability of being employed. The depressive effect of segregation on employment is weaker for black women than it is for black men.

Occupational and Residential Segregation Labor Studies Journal 33,4 (December 2008): 393-411 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Labor Market Demographics; Labor Market Segmentation; Labor Supply; Occupational Segregation; Racial Differences; Residence Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study considers whether the social organization of the metropolitan area in which black and white men and women prepare for the labor market during youth affects their likelihood to work in occupations overrepresented by blacks or whites as adults. Findings based on the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, census data, and regression analysis suggest that residential segregation affects the likelihood that whites will be segregated from blacks into better-paying occupations that are overrepresented by other whites in the labor market. Furthermore, black women who lived in more segregated cities during their youth are more likely to be concentrated into typically lower paying occupations overrepresented by other black women and are less likely to work in typically white male occupations that tend to be better remunerated.

3.	Race/Gender Economic Inequality: The Confluence of Residential and Occupational Segregation Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Michigan 2003. DAI-A 64/06, p. 2267, Dec 2003 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Ethnic Studies; Gender; Industrial Relations; Labor Market Demographics; Labor Market Outcomes; Racial Studies; Residence The labor market is one of the most critical sites in which race, gender, and class inequality converge. I argue that racial stratification in the labor market is shaped by the social organization of the surrounding local labor market, which is manifest in patterns of residential segregation. Residential segregation is hypothesized to influence labor market outcomes in two ways: indirectly, via its effect on educational attainment, a critical determinant of labor market outcomes, and directly, independent of the effect of education. This study utilizes a longitudinal design, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, and Census Microdata to map the level of residential segregation experienced during an individual's youth onto two adult labor market outcomes, employment status and occupational segregation. This study examines: (1) the indirect effect of residential segregation on blacks' and whites' labor market outcomes in logistic and ordinary least squares regression models by assessing its influence on educational attainment. (2) the direct effect of residential segregation on labor market outcomes in logistic and ordinary least squares regression models while controlling for education. Race/gender interactions were added in the employment status analyses to assess the differential impact of residential segregation by race/gender. The results revealed that blacks and whites from metropolitan areas with lower levels of residential segregation attained more education and were more likely to be employed. Interaction effects revealed that the effect of residential segregation on employment status differed by race/gender status. With regard to occupational segregation, black workers from metropolitan areas with lower residential segregation scores were less likely to work in occupations overrepresented by blacks: occupations which tend to be lower in occupational prestige and consequently pay. This effect is strongest when black women and men are compared separately against white men. Residential segregation had no effect on occupational segregation for white workers.
