African-American Economic Mobility in the 1940s: A Portrait from the Palmer Survey
利用独特数据集中的工作史，追踪六个城市工人职业、行业和地理流动，揭示1940年代黑人经济流动性中人口普查数据无法呈现的特征。
I use retrospective work histories from a unique dataset to follow workers in six cities through occupational, industrial, and geographic moves, thereby characterizing aspects of black economic mobility during the 1940s that cannot be viewed through the Census data. Relatively few migrants were drawn directly from the southern agricultural sector. Black occupational upgrades were larger than white upgrades on average but black upgrades were smaller than those of observationally similar whites.
