Working Paper Number: SEHSD-WP1993-06 or SIPP-WP-174

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the labor force activities of men and women drawn from the black, American Indian, Asian, Mexican, Puerto-Rican, other Hispanic and non-Hispanic white population of the United States.  Our objectives are to:  1) document variation in the annualized probability of employment, unemployment, and nonparticipation for these groups; and 2) analyze transition rates between labor force statuses of employment, unemployment, and nonparticipation using multistate event history methods that control for selected demographic, socioeconomic, household, and residence characteristics of respondents.
