abstract: 'Past research has shown that minority men are more likely than others to

  enter female-dominated occupations, but less is known about the quality

  of their jobs in these fields in contrast to other employment options.

  We use the 2004 and 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program

  Participation (SIPP) to examine whether the female-dominated industries

  of education and health care produce better job quality in terms of

  wages, benefits, hours, and job security for working-class men relative

  to other industries, with emphasis on differences by race-ethnicity. We

  find that although workers in the education and health care industries

  fared better during the Great Recession compared to those in other

  industries, effects for wages, health insurance, hours, and layoff for

  working-class Men of Color were substantially lower compared to those of

  White men. We find strong evidence of a racialized glass escalator, but

  also a racialized safety net in the care sector post-recession: the

  health care and education industries provide better job quality for

  White men than for Men of Color, though they are less likely to be in

  these jobs, and these sectors were more protective of White men as

  compared to minorities during the recession.'
