Intermetropolitan Variation in the Labor Force Participation Rates of White and Black Men in the United States.
Ellis, Mark; Odland, John
Urban Studies, v38 n13 p2327-48 Dec 2001
Decomposes variance in black and white male labor force participation rates across metropolitan areas into: local labor market effects, labor force structure effects, and effects from the covariation between the two. Data from the 1990 Public Use Micro Sample show difference by race and suggest that most variation results from workers with similar characteristics participating at different rates in different places.
