Layoff, Discharge and Youth Unemployment Presented: Cambridge, MA, Conference on Inner City Black Youth Unemployment, August 1983 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Author Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Inner-City; Job Tenure; Job Turnover; Layoffs; Occupational Status; Quits; Racial Differences; Unemployment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Three different data sets (NLSY, CPS, and the NBER Survey) were used in this analysis of the unemployment experience of black youths. Blacks are found to be less likely than whites to quit or be temporarily laid off and more likely to be discharged or permanently laid off. The high rate of job loss for blacks appears to be the result of low tenure or seniority and lack of employment in sectors and occupations which seem to have lower turnover, layoff, and discharge rates. This difference in the incidence of job loss was found to be a major factor in explaining the difference between whites' and blacks' unemployment rates. |
