Written Assignment 2: Outline 0 This document include the outline of the article, the teacher comment on the outline. Article Pager, Devah; Bruce Western; and Bart Bonikowski. 2009. “Discrimination in a Low-Wage Labor Market: A Field Experiment” American Sociological Review 74: 777-799. Research Question In the article, Pager and his colleagues investigated the contemporary racial discrimination among the low-wage labor market. The primary research question is ‘Does employer discrimination affect labor outcome of low-wage workers?’. Research/Theories Discussed To answer the research questions, matching theory by Heckman and Siegelman, 1993 have been used. The theory states that the results of a test rely on the comparability of the tester. The wage variance between different races have been examined in addition to th interaction between job seekers and employers. The main goal is to examine the relationship between the employer and job seekers to help come up with decisions that lower the opportunities for minority job seekers. Research Design Descriptive research design was used in the research. An experimental study was carried out by sending a group of testers to seek employment in New York City. The testers were from different races which are whites, blacks and Latinos. Key Findings Black job seekers had half the chance of getting a response after application. White applicants had the highest chance of getting positive responses compared to blacks and Latinos. The results indicate that a systemic type of discrimination defines the employment opportunities for minority groups. Value/Shortcoming of the Research The study provides new insights on how the race of job seekers influence the perception by employers and thus affect employment opportunities. The research is limited to advertised job opportunities which cover approximately 25-30% of jobs. Different strategies such as employment agencies, referrals and walk in applications may provide different results. This is the instructor comment on the outline. Please make sure to follow what the instructor says: “You have made a start, but you should probably read the article before you write your final review (due next week) – I think you probably just skimmed it. For #3, the literature review section that much research suggests that the reason for the Black-white labor market gap in employment and wages is due to “skill deficiencies” and in #4 you need to explain how their experiment worked.”

Requirements of the essay Your review should adhere to the following requirements: • A title page that shows your name, instructor’s name, the name, number, and section of the class, and the date. • An essay (review) that is at least two full pages in length (double-spaced), but no more than three pages using 12 fonts and normal (1 inch) margins. • Your article review should be cited using the American Psychological Association (APA) intext citation format. • Your article review should explain the research question being addressed, the methodology used, and the findings. • In addition, your review should analyze and evaluate the research. • Essentially you want to provide answers to the questions you should have been asking yourself the second time you read the article – these questions: (1) What exactly is the researcher studying? (2) What is already known about the topic? (3) What methods are used? (4) What are the researcher’s findings? (5) Do I agree with this research? (6) Do the findings agree with previous research on the topic? • At the bottom of your review or on a separate page, you should have a “work cited” list (singular because you will probably only cite one work – the article you are reviewing) in APA format. Guidelines for Writing Article Review Essays Anything you write should have a beginning (an introduction), a middle (the body), and an end (the conclusion). In your introductory paragraph, tell the reader what you are doing. Your short introduction should be engaging, it should articulate the research question, it should specify the research article being reviewed, and it should give the reader an overview of what is to come. You might include a sentence or two regarding why you chose the topic. Here’s an example of a good introductory paragraph looks like: Does the color of your skin matter when you are trying to land an entry-level, low-wage job? A field experiment conducted by Devah Pager and her colleagues (2009) provides compelling evidence that it does. The research of Pager and her partners shows that it isn’t individual “skill deficiencies” or other personal deficits that explain pay and employment gaps: equally-matched non-white job candidates had to work harder than their white counterparts for the same opportunities (Pager, et al, 2009: 916) In the body of your review, you need to demonstrate that you actually read the article. Pay particular attention to the “methods” and “findings” sections. Don’t ignore the introduction or Term Paper Guidelines – Summer 2021 Page 4 literature review sections but be specific as to what the author(s) research strategy was and what is learned from it. Show that you’ve done your reading by being specific: support your points with quotes or facts from your source. In the conclusion and analysis section you should evaluate the research – was it valuable? Did it answer the question? What is your opinion of the issue? Do you have any ideas for further research?
