Occupational Segregation by Race and Ethnicity in the U.S.: Differences across States∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the 2005–2007 American Community Survey, this paper analyzes the extent of geographical disparities in occupational segregation by race/ethnicity across the U.S. states. Our results show that there is a great geographical variation in segregation. A large part is driven by spatial disparities in workers’ characteristics, mainly due to differences in the distribution of ethnic/racial minorities and their immigration/linguistic profiles. Taking these characteristics into account reduces this variation and re-shapes the segregation map, with highest segregation moving from states in the Southwest to those in the East Central region, where minorities face more segregating labor markets.
