In this short paper, we share our experiences serving as editors, associate editors, and on editorial boards over the past two decades. Our goal is to provide insights regarding successful publishing from the perspective of those reviewing manuscripts. Our suggestions and tips are by no means comprehensive or definitive and other editors may not agree with our advice. However, we hope these tips are useful guidance toward navigating the often challenging and disheartening journey of moving one's research through the publication process. JEL codes: A11, A14, A23

During recessions, the focus on male job losses may overshadow other important outcome variables. We examine the effects of economic downturns on occupational segregation by gender, using staffing data from over 6 million private-sector US establishments from 1966-2010. Consistent with the literature, we find a downward trend in occupational segregation that is diminishing over time. Drawing upon Rubery's (1988) work on women and recessions, we find support for both the buffer and the segmentation hypotheses. On net, however, the buffer hypothesis appears to dominate providing evidence that in periods of economic decline the trend of decreasing economic dissimilarity is interrupted.
