“…We suspect the answer is related to the more entrenched and explicit nature of gender inequality in the labor market relative to what is observed on the basis of race. Indeed, given the stark and persistent forms of occupational segregation by gender (Alonso-Villar et al, 2012; Gauchat et al, 2012), individuals from an early age can identify male- and female-associated jobs. This has implications both for the shaping of occupational aspirations (Correll, 2001, 2004; Francis, 2002) and the mapping of occupational barriers (see Altonji & Blank, 1999).…”

While existing research has documented persistent barriers facing African American job seekers, far less research has questioned how job seekers respond to this reality. Do minorities self-select into particular segments of the labor market to avoid discrimination? Such questions have remained unanswered due to the lack of data available on the positions to which job seekers apply. Drawing on two original datasets with application-specific information, we find little evidence that blacks target or avoid particular job types. Rather, blacks cast a wider net in their search than similarly situated whites, including a greater range of occupational categories and characteristics in their pool of job applications. Finally, we show that perceptions of discrimination are associated with increased search breadth, suggesting that broad search among African Americans represents an adaptation to labor market discrimination. Together these findings provide novel evidence on the role of race and self-selection in the job search process.

“…This creates a set of oppositional scripts between femininity and masculinity that sup port men's greater power and status in heterosexual relationships and other contexts (England, 2010;Gauchat, Kelly, & Wallace, 2012;Loscocco & Bird, 2012;Muehlenhard & MacNaughton, 1988).…”

The present study uses qualitative methods to examine the perceptions and experiences of femaleinitiated sexual coercion among Hispanic college men. Four categories of findings related to Hispanic college men's perceptions of female-initiated sexual coercion were analyzed: 1) beliefs about of male victimization; 2) types of female-initiated coercion; 3) appropriate responses to female-initiated coercion; and 4) messages about appropriate heteronormative masculinity. Participants found it difficult to accept that a man could be coerced by a woman unless, for example, drugs or alcohol were used. There was strong evidence in support of the proposition that men should "just go" with a woman's demands for sexual contact, whether or not it was truly desired. There was also clear support for the notion that masculinity scripts influenced attitudes toward female-initiated coercion, although participants did not see these norms and scripts as unique to Hispanic culture via machismo beliefs. The results highlight the importance of acknowledging male victimization and the influence of gender scripts in research on dating violence within Hispanic populations.

“…New economy is characterized by increasing job polarization with strong growth of high-and low-wage jobs and decline in many middle-wage jobs [15], as well as persistent gender inequality and job insecurity [55]. Occupational gender segregation continues to be the main contributing factor to gender-based wage gap [21]. Besides inequality, Black women face issues of diversity including barriers to employment, racism and discrimination, isolation, and exclusion in the workplace [24].…”

This paper is presented as how data-enabled principles can be applied for the field of urban geography. It shows the fundamentals and examples for researchers in other fields to be considered. Specifically, we examine the link between three types of job concentrations and the site's spatial and nonspatial factors using OnTheMap 2011 data. We empirically analyzed spatial and non-spatial attributes, respectively and combined. The logistic and OLS regression analyses indicate that overall job concentrations locate with access to large employment areas, major roads, freight facilities, and White labor, while proximate local roads and Black labor force deter jobs which confirms selective race-based business location decisions. Employment size reflects economic health of an area and is a predictor of growth. We modeled employment magnitude by spatial and non-spatial factors among various employment concentrations. For small and medium job concentrations, areal employment benefits from proximity to Memphis Aerotropolis which offers excellent transportation opportunities. Employment in medium-sized concentrations is associated with experienced older workers as well as female resident workers. Employment size in large job areas is inversely related to the distance to the CBD and is positively associated with available high-earning resident workers. The paper contributes to the field of data-enabled science where real-world systems are modeled quantitatively using extensive economic activities data sets. Although a single-time period data was analyzed, the principles demonstrated in the paper may be considered for analysis of time series disciplinespecific problems of urban environment and those arising in other fields of endeavor.
