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. 410 0$aGeorge Gund Foundation Book in African American Studies 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEmployment 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$zUnited States 606 $aBlue collar workers$zUnited States 610 $a1990s. 610 $aafrican american men. 610 $ablack experience. 610 $ablack men. 610 $ablue collar jobs. 610 $abusiness economics. 610 $acareer. 610 $aemployment opportunities. 610 $aemployment rates. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $ahuman resources. 610 $aindustrial relations. 610 $ainequality. 610 $ajob entry process. 610 $ajob search. 610 $ajob seekers. 610 $alabor market. 610 $alabor relations. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoppression. 610 $aprofessional contacts. 610 $arace issues. 610 $aracism. 610 $asystemic racism. 610 $avocational school. 610 $awage gap. 610 $awhite networks. 610 $awork ethic. 610 $ayoung black men. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xEmployment. 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment 615 0$aBlue collar workers 676 $a331.13/3/0973 700 $aRoyster$b Deirdre A$g(Deirdre Alexia),$f1966-$01558603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783011303321 996 $aRace and the invisible hand$93823155 997 $aUNINA
