While White workers lose large earnings advantages accumulated at their previous jobs, Black workers are highly disadvantaged by their employment in vulnerable segments of the labor market and re-sorting into new occupations, new industries, and part-time work after displacement.

Hello Bluesky! Late adopter but nice to see y’all here. I’m a sociologist of stratification, inequality, and mobility working on projects related to job displacement and mobility, the labor market processes driving intergenerational mobility, and job quality. Looking forward to being in touch!
