“…The literature (e.g. Kifle et al, 2014;May and McGarvey, 2017) has shown the existence of a multi-dimensional nature of occupational segregation by sex represented by different statistics (female labour force participation rate, occupational segregation by sex in male-dominated, high-education science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)and non-STEM occupations, and others). This segregation may be directly related to the level of women's satisfaction in the labour market which influence women's turnover rate.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between job dissatisfaction and gender using an objective behavioural measure variable for dissatisfaction. Design/methodology/approach A monthly household panel structure was drawn from the Brazilian labour market, and a variety of econometric methodologies was applied. Findings This finding contradicts most articles published on the subject and corroborates the theoretical argument that women tend to be more risk-averse than men in the rates of labour turnover. Research limitations/implications There are no sample surveys to address issue directly, thereby restricting the analyses to an individual study case. The concept of relative dissatisfaction is adopted, which can lead to either underestimation or overestimation, although this possibility has not been proven according to the sensitivity analysis applied. Originality/value The paper contributes to the literature by carrying out the first empirical analysis on the relationship between job satisfaction and gender using a categorial variable, which minimises the bias of subjectivity (psychological factors) since it is associated with employees’ attitude (what they do) rather than their opinion (what they say) about job dissatisfaction. The paper uses appropriate econometric methods to measure job dissatisfaction. The results differ from most published articles on the subject.

“…Employers in more egalitarian minded communities and with more same‐sex couples, tend to have less inequality (Beggs, 1995; Garnett, 2012; Skaggs, 2008). Greater levels of voting for Democrats is correlated with lower rates of occupational segregation by race and gender (May & McGarvey, 2017; McVeigh & Sobolewski, 2007).…”

Race, gender, and place: How judicial identity and local context shape anti-discrimination decisions

While federal anti‐employment discrimination laws have helped diminish inequality at work, discrimination persists, in part perhaps due to unequal handling of equal employment lawsuits. Prior research demonstrates that the definition of discrimination can vary based on local normative ideas, while another line shows that a judge's race or gender can shape how related lawsuits are handled. In this article, I draw on a set of EEOC workplace discrimination cases prosecuted in Federal Court and combine it with locality data, to analyze: (1) the impact of local context, specifically rurality, local political context, and southerness and; (2) how judges' race and gender interact with the local cultural‐milieu. Findings reveal that plaintiffs of colour in race discrimination cases fair worse in rural courts or before white judges. Meanwhile, white judges in conservative areas are more defendant friendly than those outside the in more liberal areas. Black judges, in comparison, are more plaintiff friendly in conservative areas when compared to black judges in more liberal areas. While female judges are generally more plaintiff friendly than male judges in sex cases, location has no discernible effect.

“…Although some previous studies have examined the association between geopolitics and public attitude towards immigration policy in the USA, the results are inconsistent and inconclusive (Bessett et al, 2015 ; May & McGarvey, 2017 ; Stanhope et al, 2019 ). Thus, it leads to calls for further investigation to bring nuance and augment the existing findings (Stanhope et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Each of the fifty states in the USA can be viewed or categorized as either red (republican) or blue (democrat) states based on electoral or voting patterns, majority political ideology, and the dominance of either the Republican or Democratic party in the state (Levendusky & Pope, 2011 ; Miller & Conover, 2015 ; Nivola & Brady, 2007 ; Rodden, 2005 ). Some studies refer to this phenomenon as geopolitics—the intersection of politics and geography (Davisson, 2011 ; May & McGarvey, 2017 ).…”

Previous attitudinal studies on immigration in the USA largely focus on the predictors of anti-immigration sentiments compared to examining immigration policies. The dearth of scientific enquiry about the latter necessitated the present study. By analyzing individual-level data ( n = 1018) obtained from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), we assess the effect of geopolitics–red and blue states and other factors on public attitude towards six immigration policies in the USA (2017–2021). Overall, the results indicate a null relationship between geopolitics and public attitude towards immigration policies. Additionally, we observed several sociodemographic factors, such as age, political ideology, party affiliation, and region, influence public attitude towards immigration policies. Based on these results, it is recommended that immigration policies formulated and implemented in the USA must be based on empirical evidence and not sentiments.
