      abstract = {This book analyzes the status and position of African  American men in the U.S. labor market prior to, during, and  after the Great Recession. Using a model of occupational  crowding, the book outlines how the representation of  African American men in major occupational categories  almost universally declined during the recent recession  even as white non-Hispanic men were able to maintain their  occupational representation in the face of staggering job  losses. Using US Census Bureau data, this book illustrates  how African American men sought to insulate their group  from devastating job losses by increasing their educational  attainment in a job market where employers exercised more  leverage in hiring. However, this strategy was unable to  protect this group from disparate job losses as African  American men became further marginalized in the workforce  during the Great Recession. Policy approaches to address  high African American male unemployment are outlined in the  final chapter.},
