Abstract

This paper is an exploration of intersegment and racial differences in job-leaving experience, which links ideas found in mobility studies of the labor market segmentation school and the literature which describes unemployment as a dynamic process. Findings suggest that there are significant differences in nonemployment mobility patterns across the segment structure, lending support to researchers who view the labor market as segmented. In addition, after controlling for segmentation, racial differences in nonemployment mobility are revealed, suggesting that race, too, is an important theoretical category that cannot be ignored.
