Job Search Methods: Consequences for Gender-based Earnings Inequality.
Huffman, Matt L.; Torres, Lisa
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v58 n1 p127-41 Feb 2001
Data from adults in Atlanta, Boston, and Los Angeles (n=1,942) who searched for work using formal (ads, agencies) or informal (networks) methods indicated that type of method used did not contribute to the gender gap in earnings. Results do not support formal job search as a way to reduce gender inequality. (Contains 55 references.) (SK)
