Minorities in the Labor Market. Volume III: Metropolitan and Regional Inequalities Among Minorities in the Labor Market.
Wilber, George L.; Hagan, Robert J.
Data are presented on the employment inequalities among color-ethnic minorities in major regions and metropolitan areas in the U.S. Achievements of minorities are summarized in brief profiles of each of eight ethnic minorities. Emphasis is placed on their labor force participation, employment, occupational achievement, mobility, weeks worked, and earnings. The summary profiles are designed to facilitate a grasp of essential patterns of similarities and differences within a minority among regions and metropolitan areas. Brief summary tables concentrate on those regions and metropolitan areas in which relatively large numbers of each minority are concentrated. Much greater detail is combined in the tables which follow. Comparisons of ethnic minorities indicate that (1) levels of employment, occupational achievement, and earnings differ by location, but that the overall rankings of minorities are not modified within areas, (2) levels of participation and achievement tend to be highest in areas where a minority is most numerous, and (3) achievements of minorities in the labor market are more dependent on their minority characteristics and educational attainment than on location. Appendix A presents statistical descriptions of the sample populations, identifies the regions and metropolitan areas, and defines the major variables and measures in the report. (Author/NJ)
