Torn Apart? The Impact of Manufacturing Employment Decline on Black and White Americans
研究1960年以来美国制造业就业下降对黑人和白人社会经济状况的影响，发现黑人受冲击更大，加剧了种族间在工资、婚姻、贫困等方面的差距。
Abstract This paper examines the impact of manufacturing employment decline on the socioeconomic outcomes within and between black and white americans since 1960. The analysis shows that manufacturing decline had a negative impact on blacks in terms of their wages, employment, marriage rates, house values, poverty rates, death rates, single parenthood, teen motherhood, child poverty, and child mortality. In addition, the decline in manufacturing increased inequality within the black community for wages and other outcomes. Similar patterns are found for whites, but to a lesser degree—leading to larger gaps between whites and blacks in wages, marriage patterns, poverty, single-parenthood, and death rates.
