The consequences of hiring and job search practices for inequality
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- My dissertation contributes to the sociology of gender and labor markets, specifically focusing on how the job search and hiring stages contribute to gender disparities in labor market outcomes. In the first paper, Poach or Promote: Job Sorting and Earnings Inequality across U.S. Industries, I take a macro lens at the industry-quarter level to study the association between an increasingly common hiring practice -- the use of firm-external hires rather than firm-internal promotions to fill positions -- and the gender earnings gap. In the second paper, Gender Differences in the Geographic Breadth of Job Search: Examining Job Applications, I move to explore gender differences in the geography of job search to identify gender-based mechanisms on the worker supply-side of the job-matching process. In the third paper, Make it a Number: Quantification in Hiring Evaluation, I turn firmly to the demand-side and use an original experiment to investigate how hiring bias has disparate effects on men and women. These papers weave a story of women's lingering inequality in the labor market and its relationship with persistent gender bias at the hiring stage.
