Is the Grass Greener: A Wage Comparison across Racial Segregation at Home and Work
Race continues to be a strong predictor of where people live and work in the U.S. Past works show that we experience segregation to varying degrees throughout our day, not just at our residence. Yet little is known about what consequences the interaction of these segregations across two places, work and home, have for inequality. This research examines to what extent the social distance between residence and workplace holds for local economic outcomes. He uses LEHD residence and workplace characteristics data to assess the cost of the variation in diurnal segregation across Census tracts in the U.S. He develops this work in conversation with whitespaces, activity space, and wage attainment literatures. This research is part of his dissertation project that examines the composition of industries as a mechanism for population outcomes and inequality.
