I don't feel right sized; I feel out-of-work sized Gender, race, ethnicity, and the unequal costs of displacement

This article attempts to disentangle the effects of race and gender by examining what happens to Black, White, and Hispanic men and women as they reenter the job market after displacement from their previous jobs. The authors use data from the 1996 Displaced Worker Survey (a supplement to the February 1996 Current population Survey) and focus on post displacement employment and earnings as the main dependent variables. Queuing theory is used to help understand the; powerful ranking and sorting processes in a race- and gender-conscious job market The authors find the distribution of displacement costs unequal. White men appear to head the post displacement queue. White women experience a gender disadvantage, Blackmen lose as a result of their race and do not benefit from gender in most cases. Blade women generally experience the double burden of race and gender Hispanic men do appear to generally benefit from gender but Hispanic women lose.
