Descripción
Sumario:As one study illustrates, economic upswings do not appear to change racial preferences among employers, who remain less willing to hire African Americans for low-wage jobs."--Jacket.
Even though African American men are currently less likely to leave the work force, the number of those who do not find work at all has grown substantially, indicating that joblessness is now concentrated among the most alienated members of the population. Other chapters offer evidence that racial inequality is still pervasive. Prosperity for All? ascribes black disadvantage in the labor force to employer discrimination, particularly when there is strong competition for jobs.
"Prosperity for All? reveals that while African Americans benefit in many ways from a strong job market, serious problems remain. Research presented in this book shows that the ratio of black to white unemployment has actually increased over recent expansions.
Notas:Revised versions of papers presented at a conference held at the Russell Sage Foundation in October 1998.
