Abstract
One explanation for the black-white earnings gap is spatial mismatch, that is, where blacks tend to seek employment in areas with lower prevailing wages. Ihlanfeldt and Young [1996] study the spatial mismatch phenomenon in the metro Atlanta fast food industry by focusing on the distribution of black employment. This paper extends their analysis by focusing on the wage relative to black employment. Additionally, the metro Atlanta area will be divided into the north and south sides for comparison.
