摘要

Using restricted American Community Survey data, this paper presents aggregate evidence that Black and Hispanic workers are less responsive than White workers to changes in job opportunities, but responsiveness increases when those opportunities present themselves in locations with a higher own-race population share. Whether coming from social, economic, or systemic sources, we interpret the modifying effect of own-race population share on responsiveness as a constraint to improving labor market outcomes and discuss the implication for policy considerations.
