Overview: This paper uses several data sources to predict the effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) activity on racial employment patterns. Findings indicate that FDI is associated with an improved probability of black employment in high-wage and mid-level wage jobs versus low wage jobs. FDI does not influence racial employment disparity for low-wage versus mid-level wage jobs. These findings are interpreted to suggest that enhanced competition for U.S. workers creates a business environment that can provide greater job opportunities for individuals from groups traditionally under-represented in high-paying occupations.
