Data from the 1976 and earlier surveys of Older Men, 45-59 in 1966, are used to assess the efforts made over the previous decade by the federal government and many private groups to improve the labor market opportunities of older black men. Using two measures of success-hourly rate of pay and amount of unemployment experienced by an individual--and two regression models for each measure, it is concluded that the opportunities for older black men improved from 1966 to 1976, although racial equity has still not been attained.
