Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

This dissertation contains three chapters describing the ways that certain economic conditions differentially affect women. The third chapter, "Supervisor Demographics and Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from the NLSY97" estimates the effect of having a same-race or same-gender supervisor early in one's career on the likelihood of remaining in the job or obtaining a better job after a year. I find no effect, suggesting that individual supervisors are not sufficient to overcome systemic factors that may disadvantage any particular group.
