He earned his Ph.D. in Economics from George Washington University (1984), an M.S. in Human Resource Management, and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Utah.
His research focuses on labor economics, employment policies, business education reform, and nonstandard employment relationships. Notable works include studies on comparable worth, temporary employment dynamics, and the transferability of military training.

Mangum's sponsored projects include an NSF I-Corps proposal (2020–2025) focused on innovation commercialization, though it was not funded.
