University of California, Los Angeles The proposed research will focus on urban poverty and joblessness experienced by segments of the African-American and Latino communities and addresses the debate about whether spatial or social factors are more important. The specific objectives of this proposal are to analyze the merits of the spatial and social explanations of urban joblessness and poverty, particularly those of minority groups and to examine their relative importance. Innovative survey data from a multi-city study of urban inequality in Atlanta, Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles will be used to assess questions of job information, lack of private transportation, job skills and how these may affect employment. Hiring behavior at the firm level will be carried out to determine whether suburban firms are more likely to discriminate than urban firms are.

加州大学洛杉矶分校 拟议的研究将侧重于非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲人社区经历的城市贫困和失业问题，并讨论空间因素和社会因素哪个更重要的问题。 这项建议的具体目标是分析城市失业和贫困的空间和社会解释的价值，特别是少数群体的失业和贫困，并审查其相对重要性。 对亚特兰大、波士顿、底特律和洛杉矶城市不平等的多城市研究的创新调查数据将用于评估工作信息、缺乏私人交通工具、工作技能以及这些问题如何影响就业。 在公司层面的招聘行为将进行，以确定是否郊区公司更有可能比城市公司的歧视。
