Linking home to work: Ethnic labor market concentration in the San Francisco consolidated metropolitan area
Article Abstract:
A study of the ethnic labor market concentration in the San Francisco consolidated metropolitan area is conducted to examine the link between home and work. The results suggest that living arrangements can provide a mechanism through which personal characteristics, social networking, and ethnic recourses interact with macroeconomic trends, and thus carve out local labor market experiences across the urban space.
