Compared to blacks and non-Latino whites, Latinos experience the lowest levels of representation in both managerial and nonmanagerial jobs. The authors uncover patterns of competition between blacks and Latinos for managerial positions, but the majority of observed competition is between traditionally disadvantaged ethnic groups and non-Latino whites. Competition between blacks and Latinos for managerial jobs is most likely to occur in departments with redistributive policy commitments. The authors find a pervasive pattern of Latino gains and black losses for nonmanagerial positions, but they argue that the pattern should not be interpreted as evidence for interethnic employment competition. - Reproduced Municipal government Bureaucracy Local government Reid, Margaret Miller, Will Urban Affairs 46701 46701 46701 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 35, Issue no: 6 AR47129 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
