Abstract: | I use program-level data to compare the relative representation of blacks and Latinos in the construction industry apprenticeship
programs organized with and without trade union participation. Econometric analysis shows that there are significant differences
between the black and Latino experiences. The black share is higher in union-management joint programs, but the Latino share
appears to be higher in the unilateral employer programs. Although both groups have lower representation in the higher status
(electrical and mechanical) and higher paying occupations, the Latino share is more sensitive to earnings. |
