Indirect Tests of the Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis in the Cleveland PMSA

A Labor Market Perspective

Zhongcai Zhang

Cleveland State University

This article presents two indirect tests of the spatial mismatch hypothesis. Awage-gradient model and a two-sample t-test procedure are used to examine wage differences across the Cleveland primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA) for 18 selected low-wage industries. Empirical evidence produced in both sets of tests do not support the spatial mismatch hypothesis in the context of the Cleveland PMSA: A positive wage gradient was not found, and two-sample t-tests did not indicate that wages in industries typified as being predominantly low skilled are higher in suburbs than in the central city—an outcome predicted by a spatial mismatch—for all industries in the sample, with the exception of gasoline service stations.
