abstract: 'This paper investigates long-term earnings differentials between African
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
American and white men using data that match respondents in the Survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Income and Program Participation to 30 years of their longitudinal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings as recorded by the Social Security Administration. Given
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changing labor market conditions over three decades, we focus on how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial differentials vary by educational level because the latter has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important and persistent effects on labor market outcomes over the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
course of an entire work career. The results show that the long-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings of African American men are more disadvantaged at lower levels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of educational attainment. Controlling for demographic characteristics,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work disability, and various indicators of educational achievement does
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not explain the lower long-term earnings of less-educated black men in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparison to less-educated white men. The interaction arises because
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
black men without a high school degree have a larger number of years of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
zero earnings during their work careers. Other results show that this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial interaction by educational level is not apparent in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cross-sectional data which do not provide information on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accumulation of zero earnings over the course of 30 years. We interpret
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these findings as indicating that compared to either less-educated white
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men or highly educated black men, the long-term earnings of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
less-educated African American men are likely to be more negatively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affected by the consequences of residential and economic segregation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment, being out of the labor force, activities in the informal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economy, incarceration, and poorer health.'
