1.	A Contextual Analysis of the Effects of Gender and Place on Workers' Incomes Sociological Spectrum 20,3 (July-September 2000): 345-356. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/027321700405081 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Education; Family Size; Gender; Income; Labor Force Participation; Marital Status; Occupations; Rural Areas; Wages, Women This research uses the 1987 National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth to construct a national and Appalachian subsample of workers at the initial stages of their labor force participation and during a national economic recovery. This contextual research examines the impact of education, work effort, type of job, marital status, family size, Appalachian residence, urban or rural location, unemployment rate, and manufacturing concentration on the incomes of women and men. The results document the overall depressive effect that living in Appalachia has on the incomes of both male and female workers.

2.	Multi-Level Analyses of Work and Welfare Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Kentucky, 1994. DAI-A 56/01, p. 372, Jul 1995 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Industrial Relations; Mobility; Occupational Segregation; Wages; Welfare Feminist researchers have broadened our understanding of inequality by documenting the connection between domestic labor, institutionalized male dominance, occupational segregation, and the welfare system. Diana Pearce and others have found that workers who are in a precarious position in terms of wages, mobility, job security, and benefits (i.e., they are employed in the secondary sector of the labor market) are at an even greater disadvantage when they become unemployed. More specifically, Pearce found that women were significantly less likely than men to receive unemployment insurance when they became unemployed. One problem with Pearce's work is that she ignores the impact of race/ethnicity on men and thus fails to examine the extent to which men of color are likewise disadvantaged in their claims to unemployment insurance. In addition, Pearce fails to incorporate the importance of geography in her analysis of the welfare system. Unlike most of the feminist research, multi-level labor market analyses recognize the influence of geography (i.e., the characteristics of a place) on inequality. One main problem with this research is that researchers have sporadically included gender, race, and ethnicity in their analyses. My research overcomes the limitations of past research by combining insights from a feminist analysis of the welfare system with insights from spatial analysis of inequality. Using the 1987 National Longitudinal Surveys for Youth, this multilevel research examines how human capital variables, household variables, and labor market variables intersect with gender, race, and ethnicity to influence an individual's position within the occupational structure (as measured by primary or secondary sector employment and income) and the welfare system (as measured by receipt of unemployment insurance). By analyzing the relationships between geography, race, ethnicity, gender, human capital, household variables, occupational segregation, and the welfare system, this research provides a more accurate depiction of the relationship between and the consequences of the social construction of reproduction, economic production, and state policies toward disadvantaged workers.

Boulder CO: Westview Press, 1991 Cohort(s): NLS General Publisher: Perseus Books Group Keyword(s): Longitudinal Data Sets; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS Description; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Poverty; Rural Areas; Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Three of the longitudinal data sets most commonly used to study socioeconomic characteristics of individuals and households are reviewed to assess their suitability for research on rural poverty. The National Longitudinal Surveys, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, and the Survey of Income and Program Participation are described, compared, and evaluated. Concepts important for investigating spatial variation in poverty and related socioeconomic characteristics are discussed and examined for each data base and salient literature cited.
