“…Although the empirical findings have been somewhat mixed (e.g., Holzer, 1991; Leonard, 1987; Raphael, 1998; Stoll, 2005; Taylor & Ong, 1995), the overall picture appears to support that poor employment outcomes for ethnic minorities is at least partially linked to spatial disconnection from jobs (Fieldhouse, 1999; Gobillon & Selod, 2014; Holzer, 1991). Drawing on SMH, research has also been carried out to examine the adverse employment conditions of ethnic minorities and other vulnerable groups (e.g., low‐income groups) both within and outside the North American context (e.g., Easley, 2017; Fan, Allen, & Sun, 2014; Korsu & Wenglenski, 2010; Liu & Painter, 2012; Matas, Raymond, & Roig, 2010). In these studies, both spatial (suburbanisation of jobs) and racial (discrimination and bias) factors have been found to influence the employment outcome of minority groups, which also presented significant variations across different ethnic groups (e.g., Fieldhouse, 1999; Patacchini & Zenou, 2005).…”
