The Relative Occupational Success of Blacks and Whites Brookings Papers on Economic Activity 1973,3 (1973): 781-795. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2534208 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Brookings Institution Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Employment; Occupational Status; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wages Within the labor market, blacks suffer relative to whites in two ways: first, blacks are less likely to have high- paying occupations than whites; and, second, within each occupation, they are paid less. The authors divide the total deficit in black earnings into components attributable to the occupational and wage dimensions. They find that they are approximately equal in size. They study the occupational component in detail, attempting to subdivide it into two parts; differences arising from the unequal treatment of blacks and whites in the labor market and differences arising from the unequal endowments of the two groups. |
