abstract: 'Despite efforts to improve the labor market situation of African
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Americans, the racial earnings gap has endured in the United States.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most prior studies on racial inequality have considered its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cross-sectional or period patterns. This study adopts a demographic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspective to examine the evolution of earnings trajectories among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
white and black men across cohorts in the United States. Using more than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
40 years of longitudinal earnings records from the U.S. Social Security
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Administration matched to the Survey of Income and Program
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Participation, our analyses reveal that the cohort trends in the racial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings gap follow quite different patterns by education. Race
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
continues to be a salient dimension of economic inequality over the life
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
course and across cohorts, particularly at the top and the bottom of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational distribution. Although the narrowing of the racial gap among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high school graduates is in itself a positive development, it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unfortunately derives primarily from the deteriorating economic position
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for whites without a college degree rather than an improvement in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic standing of their black counterparts.'
