I'm so used to using MLA that I'm struggling with citing in-text using APA.

"Metropolitan areas with high concentrations of employment in higher paying occupations also tend to have greater inequality.” (Cunningham, 2015).

Does that look right? Do I need to list a page number from the article that I'm using as my source, and do I put another period at the end of the parenthesis?
Thanks

You are correct here. You cite the author and year in parentheses. No period is needed after the parenthetical. Your source list begins with the author's last name, so it's easy for the reader to find the source reference that way. If you have used more than one article or book by the same author (or two with the same last name), the date identifies which has been cited. It makes perfect sense.

Thank you!
