Washington to today, and William Julius Wilson, the advice dispensed to young black men has invariably been, "Get a trade." Deirdre Royster has put this folk wisdom to an empirical test-and, in Race and the Invisible Hand, exposes the subtleties and discrepancies of a workplace that favors the white job-seeker over the black. At the heart of this study is the question: Is there something about young black men that makes them less desirable as workers than their white peers? And if not, then why do black men trail white men in earnings and employment rates? Royster seeks an answer in the experiences of 25 black and 25 white men who graduated from the same vocational school and sought jobs in the same blue-collar labor market in the early 1990's. After seriously examining the educational performances, work ethics, and values of the black men for unique deficiencies, her study reveals the greatest difference between young black and white men-access to the kinds of contacts that really help in the job search and entry process.George Gund Foundation Book in African American StudiesAfrican AmericansEmploymentDiscrimination in employmentUnited StatesBlue collar workersUnited States1990s.african american men.black experience.black men.blue collar jobs.business economics.career.employment opportunities.employment rates.ethnographers.ethnography.human resources.industrial relations.inequality.job entry process.job search.job seekers.labor market.labor relations.nonfiction.oppression.professional contacts.race issues.racism.systemic racism.vocational school.wage gap.white networks.work ethic.young black men.African AmericansEmployment.Discrimination in employmentBlue collar workers331.13/3/0973Royster Deirdre A(Deirdre Alexia),1966-1558603MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783011303321Race and the invisible hand3823155UNINA01223nam0 22002771i 450 UON0051900420231205105536.26837-913073-6-320231024d1986 |0itac50 bagerDE|||| |||||Auf den Spuren Konig Ludwigs 2. : ein Fuhrer zu Schlossern und Museen Lebens und Erinnerungsstatten des Marchenkonigsvon Hans F.NobauerKolnPrestel1986240 p.ill.24 cmTURISMOLuoghi di interesse storico e culturaleGermaniaUONC101802FIDEKölnUONL005641914.304Geografia Europa centrale.
