Part-time Status and Hourly Earnings of Black and White Men

Michael Leeds

Economic Inquiry, 1990, vol. 28, issue 3, 544-54

Abstract: Labor economists now believe that wages and hours are jointly determined, creating a premium in the hourly pay of full-time workers. The size and nature of this premium, however, varies considerably by race. It is shown here that full-time work carries a far lower premium for black workers than for white workers and has very different implications for blacks' occupational status.
