Abstract: Evidence from the American Time Use Survey 2003–2012 suggests that minority employees, especially men, spend a small but statistically significant amount of time not working at the workplace relative to non-Hispanic whites. The time differences remain significant but decrease by 25 to 50% when accounting for detailed industry and occupation controls. Union status, public- or private-sector attachment, payment method, and educational attainment do not explain the differences, although health status is important among African Americans. The estimates imply that the differences in nonwork at the worksite can explain up to 10% of the adjusted wage gap between minority and non-Hispanic white workers.
