The past several decades have seen a decline in employment rates and labor force participation, particularly among low-skilled, minority men living in poor areas. As low-skill jobs disappear from poor places, it is a challenge for marginalized job seekers to navigate this landscape. In the current study, sequence analysis methods were used to determine distinct patterns of search and work that unfolded over time, where most people ceased their search efforts after the first month and maintained a state of irregular and varied work. Although there was substantial heterogeneity in patterns, foraging was a common strategy of survival work. (publisher abstract modified)
