Abstract

The impact of recessions is often borne unevenly. Different groups may have very different employment experiences in the same economic cycle, and this is especially true of different racial groups (Schulman 1996). Since the 1970s the unemployment rate as well as nonparticipation for black men relative to white men has increased throughout various economic cycles of expansion and contraction (Juhn 2000). Cutler and Katz (1991) argue that forces arise even during economic expansions that often work against those in disadvantaged positions. During the 1990s expansion, unemployment was at a historical low, but nonparticipation and nonemployment actually grew for a specific core group, both in number of people and duration out of work (Juhn 2000).
