Black Men's Relative Earnings: Are the Gains Illusory?
Vroman, Wayne
Industrial and Labor Relations Review, v44 n1 p83-98 Oct 1990
Analysis of Current Population Survey and Social Security data through 1985 did not support hypothesis that increase in median earnings of Black men after 1964 reflects labor force withdrawal of large numbers of low-income Black men who received government transfers. Of the total gain in relative earnings from 1964-85, only 14 percent can be attributed to"sample censoring." (Author/SK)
