摘要：

This paper documents historical unemployment trends by gender, race, and ethnicity, and examines the role of the industrial and occupational composition of employment in explaining recent trends. We show that the labor force proportions of women, non-Whites, and Hispanics have increased dramatically over the past 50 years and the unemployment rates for these groups have been converging to those of the rest of the population. We also find that in recent years, underlying differences in the industrial and occupational distributions hide substantial gender, race, and ethnicity differences in the unemployment experience within industry and occupation. © 2013 EEA.
