abstract: 'The earnings difference between white and black workers fell
|
||||
|
||||
dramatically in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
|
||||
|
||||
This article shows that the expansion of the minimum wage played a
|
||||
|
||||
critical role in this decline. The 1966 Fair Labor Standards Act
|
||||
|
||||
extended federal minimum wage coverage to agriculture, restaurants,
|
||||
|
||||
nursing homes, and other services that were previously uncovered and
|
||||
|
||||
where nearly a third of black workers were employed. We digitize over
|
||||
|
||||
1,000 hourly wage distributions from Bureau of Labor Statistics industry
|
||||
|
||||
wage reports and use CPS microdata to investigate the effects of this
|
||||
|
||||
reform on wages, employment, and racial inequality. Using a
|
||||
|
||||
cross-industry difference-in-differences design, we show that earnings
|
||||
|
||||
rose sharply for workers in the newly covered industries. The impact was
|
||||
|
||||
nearly twice as large for black workers as for white workers. Within
|
||||
|
||||
treated industries, the racial gap adjusted for observables fell from 25
|
||||
|
||||
log points prereform to 0 afterward. We can rule out significant
|
||||
|
||||
disemployment effects for black workers. Using a bunching design, we
|
||||
|
||||
find no aggregate effect of the reform on employment. The 1967 extension
|
||||
|
||||
of the minimum wage can explain more than 20\% of the reduction in the
|
||||
|
||||
racial earnings and income gap during the civil rights era. Our findings
|
||||
|
||||
shed new light on the dynamics of labor market inequality in the United
|
||||
|
||||
States and suggest that minimum wage policy can play a critical role in
|
||||
|
||||
reducing racial economic disparities.'
