Labor Market Dropouts and Trends in the Wages of Black and White Men.
Juhn, Chinhui
Industrial and Labor Relations Review, v56 n4 p643-62 Jul 2003
When discouraged unemployed black males are accounted for, real wage growth for black men over 1969-98 is reduced by about 40% and black-white wage convergence by about one-third. An important source of selection bias is the changing gap between wages of workers and potential wages of nonworkers. (Contains 20 references.) (SK)
