Part-time Status and Hourly Earnings of Black and White Men

Author

  • Leeds, Michael A

Abstract

Labor economists now believe that wages and hours are jointly determined, creating a premium in the hourly pay of full-time workers. The size and nature of this premium, however, varies considerably by race. It is shown here that full-time work carries a far lower premium for black workers than for white workers and has very different implications for blacks' occupational status.
