Differences in Unemployment and Job Turnover Rates Among Young Hispanic, Black, and White Workers Report, National Council of La Raza, U.S. Department of Labor, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Employment, Youth; Hispanic Youth; Hispanics; Racial Differences; Unemployment, Youth The primary objective of this study is to investigate the determinants of Hispanic youth unemployment through the use of multivariate techniques on data from the 1979 NLSY. The specific statistical aims are to estimate the parameters of these determinants and to explain more precisely why Hispanic unemployment figures among young workers are often five to ten percentage points higher than for like-aged white labor force participants. The findings suggest that an over-representation in highly unstable jobs, regardless of relevant background characteristics, contributes to higher rates of Hispanic youth unemployment. Other results also suggest that Hispanic teens demonstrate a relatively high degree of labor force attachment; thus higher rates of voluntary job separations among Hispanic youth do not contribute to observed Hispanic-white unemployment differences. |
