Black Women and Vulnerable Work

14 Mar 2024

This study examines the representation of Black women in potentially vulnerable occupations, considering factors such as pay, benefits, hours, and alternative work arrangements. We use occupational crowding methodology to understand if Black women are under- or overrepresented in occupations that are more vulnerable, considering educational attainment and educational requirements of the work.
