Abstract
- Wage decomposition analysis of recent earnings data for men from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth reveals that estimates of racial wage discrimination, measured by the portion of the wage gap not resulting from human capital differences, are directly related to the black male unemployment rate. Our results indicate that deteriorating labour market conditions contribute to racial wage inequality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
