This manuscript examines presenteeism (when employees come to work and are not fully functional due to health conditions) and its role in impacting two groups of essential healthcare workers practicing in Memphis, Tennessee, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this study measures presenteeism among minority and non-minority nurses and respiratory therapists who provide direct patient care. The phenomenon of presenteeism is defined as an undesirable health outcome that results in lowered workforce productivity. Presenteeism among healthcare workers can impact the quality of care, medical errors, financial losses to organizations, and employee burnout. This study gives special attention to behavioral health conditions that are closely associated with presenteeism (Homrich et al., 2020; Warren, 2009; Warren et al., 2011) and concludes with recommendations for policies and practices that healthcare institutions can implement to decrease the likelihood of increased presenteeism. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has presented new health challenges for our healthcare delivery system. A virus that knows no geographical boundaries, SARS-CoV-2 is no respecter of race/ethnicity, privilege, or character. The pandemic’s wave of death and illness has disproportionately impacted minorities. It has highlighted for common view and taken

The inquiry in this paper has two parts: (1) an examination of potential disparities in exposure to airport noise pollution between Blacks (non-Hispanic) and Whites (non-Hispanic) around the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport (AHJA) area, and (2) a binary logistic regression analysis studying factors contributing to these disparities. The proposed model is that the difference in noise exposure measured by Net Exposure Difference score is a function of the degree of Black-White residential segregation; differences in poverty rates between Blacks and Whites; some socio-economic-demographic variables and four health indicators - noise annoyance (NA); sleep disturbance (SD); hearing impairment (HI); and cardiovascular disorder (CVD). A stratified random sampling method and telephonic survey using a 43-questions questionnaire among the adult households around the AHJA area produced 237 observations on Black and White households over a period of 2 years. Parameter estimates reveals disparities in exposure to aircraft noise exposure between the Black and White households within the 10-mile radius of the airport area indicating environmental injustice. The odds-ratios from the binary logistic regression suggests residential segregation, difference in poverty rates, race, education, as well as health conditions like hearing impairment and sleep disturbances have a statistically significant association with this disparity in noise exposure.

There is no shortage of evidence documenting glaring disparities on important socioeconomic and health indicators between White and Black Americans. Persistent racial disparities are the consequence of a historic system of structural racism. Given ongoing inequities in nearly every realm of American life, we aim to calculate the contemporary cost of racial inequity. We contribute to a growing body of literature concerning the “hidden cost” of being Black by employing a novel methodological approach and centering a paradigm of intersectionality ( Crenshaw, 1991; Shapiro, 2004). Specifically, we account for the disparities in health and income between Blacks and Whites by using the compensating and equivalent surplus frameworks to calculate willingness to accept (WTA) and willingness to pay (WTP) estimates. We estimate the WTP to avoid the disparity in health, income, and wellbeing between Black and White Americans, to be between approximately $38,000 and $45,000 per year per person using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System as well as the General Social Survey, respectively. These estimates can be interpreted as the annual willingness to pay by an average White person to avoid the disparities in income and health experienced by the average Black person.

The current wave of technological change is driven by automation, the process of using computers to improve the labor process, viz., increasing the quantity and quality of work “by means of computer-controlled equipment.” Automation has had and will continue to have heterogeneous economic effects across alternative social groups—altering racial and gender inequality. This study empirically examines the relationship between the racial and gender density of occupations and the probability of automation of both minor and broad occupations. Regression analysis is used to uncover correlations between future employment change and the current racial and ethnic composition of occupations, alerting us to whether future employment growth will have a negative or positive association with occupations where each racial group of workers is currently concentrated. Increases in automation are correlated with increases in labor income inequality and increases in racial and gender employment differences. Male jobs may suffer more technological unemployment than female jobs. Specifically, within each racial group high density male jobs have a greater probability of automation (and lower probability of future demand) than high density female jobs. High density White female jobs appear to be most complementary to automation, while the high density occupations of racial minority men appear to be least complementary to automation.

An extensive literature on newly developing societies shows that the urban economy's entrepreneurial sector can absorb a sizable share of persons who are unemployed and searching for work. Surprisingly, however, little research on the United States has examined entrepreneurship's labor absorption capacity. The present study fills this gap by analyzing Blacks and Whites in northern U.S. cities during the Great Depression, a time of widespread joblessness, particularly among Blacks. The results suggest that, if not for Blacks’ uniquely severe resource deprivation, Black entrepreneurship could have absorbed a large number of jobless Blacks. Labor absorption estimates, calculated with 1940 Census data, indicate that one-third of the Black-White unemployment difference is attributable to racial inequality of entrepreneurial outcomes. This historical evidence advances social-scientific understanding of racial inequality during the Great Depression and informs a longstanding debate about the merits of promoting Black business ownership as a strategy for improving Blacks’ labor market prospects.

In The Growth of Incarceration in the United States, the National Research Council documents the large and persistent racial disparities in imprisonment that accompanied the more than quadrupling of the U.S. incarceration rate since the 1980s. Largely unnoticed by policy makers and opinion leaders in recent years is an unprecedented decrease in the number of African American women incarcerated at the same time that the number of white women in prison has grown to new heights. The result of these recent changes is a near convergence in black-white female incarceration rates from 2000 to 2016. In some states, the changes occurred abruptly and almost instantaneously. In other states, the convergence has been gradual. We find that changes in the population composition—the fraction of the population that is black—was the major contributor to the decline in the disparity among women. We also find that race-specific differences in drug overdose deaths stemming from the recent increases in opioid use lowered the disparity by increasing the white female imprisonment rate and lowering it for black women.

This article examines the association between employment decentralization and the Black-White housing consumption gap since the Great Recession. This research investigates the extent to which post-recession spatial patterns of employment facilitate, or impede, the recovery for Black households. The model estimates a statistically significant correlation between job sprawl and the Black-White housing gap, although the direction depends upon the level of sprawl and measure of housing consumption. For example, while job sprawl is associated with a reduction in the Black-White unit size gap, that association only holds in high-sprawl metropolitan areas. In one area of improvement since the recession, job sprawl is correlated with a reduction in the ownership gap in a majority of metropolitan areas. However, job sprawl is also correlated with an intensification of the suburban ownership gap in the vast majority of metropolitan areas in the study. This study counters conventional arguments that unplanned sprawl may reduce intergroup inequality, and that metropolitan land use regulations may therefore exacerbate inequality. The results of this research demonstrate that inequality persists in light of competitive market forces that generate sprawl. Metropolitan land use policies that mitigate sprawl may therefore be legitimate tools for mitigating intergroup inequality in metropolitan housing markets.

Income inequality is a distributional phenomenon. This paper examines the impact of U.S. governor’s party allegiance (Republican vs Democrat) on ethnic wage gap. A descriptive analysis of the distribution of yearly earnings of Whites and Blacks reveals a divergence in their respective shapes over time suggesting that aggregate analysis may mask important heterogeneous effects. This motivates a granular estimation of the comparative causal effect of governors’ party affiliation on labor market outcomes. This paper uses a regression discontinuity design (RDD) based on marginal electoral victories and samples of quantiles groups by wage and hours worked. Overall, the distributional causal estimations show that the vast majority of subgroups of Black workers earnings are not affected by democrat governors’ policies, suggesting the possible existence of structural factors in the labor markets that contribute to create and keep a wage trap and/or hour worked trap for most of the subgroups of Black workers. Democrat governors increase the number of hours worked of Black workers at the highest quartiles of earnings. A bivariate quantiles groups analysis shows that democrats decrease the total hours worked for Black workers who have the largest number of hours worked and earn the least. Black workers earnings more and working fewer hours than half of the sample see their number of hours worked increase under a democrat governor.

We document the contribution of skin color toward quantifying inequality of opportunity over a proxy indicator of wealth. Our Ferreira–Gignoux estimates of inequality of opportunity as a share of total wealth inequality show that once parental wealth is included as a circumstance variable, the share of inequality of opportunity rises above 40%, overall and for every age cohort. By contrast, the contribution of skin tone to total inequality of opportunity remains minor throughout.
