Employers in the Boom: How Did the Hiring of Less-Skilled Workers Change during the 1990s?
研究1990年代经济繁荣期雇主对低技能工人（包括少数族裔、福利领取者等）招聘意愿和工资的变化，发现劳动力市场紧张促使雇主转向更经济的筛选方式。
Employers became more willing to hire a range of disadvantaged workers during the 1990s boom-including minorities, workers with certain stigmas (such as welfare recipients), and those without recent experience or high school diplomas. The wages paid to newly hired less-skilled workers also increased. On the other hand, employers' demand for specific skill certification rose over time, as did their use of certain screens. The results suggest that the tight labor markets of the late 1990s, in conjunction with other secular changes, raised hiring costs and induced employers to shift toward screens that seemed more cost-effective.
