Abstract

This paper attempts to determine the effect of the intensity of durable goods manufacturing activity in metropolitan areas on the black/white median family income ratio. Using 1980 census data for fifty-two SMSAs in the Great Lakes region, the black/white family income ratio is regressed against measures of the intensity of durable goods manufacturing and a number of other variables that are hypothesized to effect the relative income performance of black families. The results indicate that the black/white median family income ratio is greater in those cities with a high proportion of total employment in manufacturing than in service-oriented cities.
