Excited to see our article out in the latest issue of the American Sociological Review. @lukaslehner.bsky.social @zparolin.bsky.social and I examine the collision of labor unions against Walmart’s buyer power and its implications for local labor markets.

With @joshuachoper.bsky.social & @lukaslehner.bsky.social in the American Sociological Review, we ask: What happens to organized labor when Walmart Supercenters enter a local labor market? Broadly, how do worker power and buyer power interact to shape inequality? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

My new article, now online @sfjournal.bsky.social, examines trends in Black-White inequality by gender in earnings losses among displaced workers. Lost earnings premia, disadvantageous re-sorting, and statistical discrimination play distinct roles in shaping inequality. doi.org/10.1093/sf/s...

Hello Bluesky! Late adopter but nice to see y’all here. I’m a sociologist of stratification, inequality, and mobility working on projects related to job displacement and mobility, the labor market processes driving intergenerational mobility, and job quality. Looking forward to being in touch!
