我们研究了自大衰退以来被判重罪或出狱的个人在劳动力市场上的表现。我们利用刑事司法行政记录系统 (CJARS) 中 13 个州的数据与 IRS W-2 信息相联系，衡量了经济衰退之前、期间和之后发生重大刑事司法事件的群体的就业和收入。这些参与正义的群体在经济衰退期间和经济衰退后立即经历了就业和收入的大幅下降。在长期恢复过程中，结果略有改善，但仍远低于没有高中学历且未参与司法系统的参考组。我们还将司法所涉及的就业结果与特定行业的当地经济表现联系起来，发现建筑和其他服务业的扩张与就业特别是收入的增长呈正相关。
We examine how individuals convicted of a felony or released from prison have fared in the labor market since the Great Recession. Using data from thirteen states in the Criminal Justice Administrative Records System (CJARS) linked with IRS W-2 information, we measure the employment and earnings of cohorts with focal criminal justice events before, during, and after the recession. These justice-involved cohorts experienced significant declines in employment and earnings during and immediately after the recession. Outcomes improved moderately during the long recovery but are still far below those of a reference group of people without high school degrees who were not involved in the justice system. We also correlate the employment outcomes of the justice involved to industry-specific local economic performance, finding that expansions in the construction and other services sectors are positively correlated with growing employment and especially earnings.
