This study examines the correlates of atypical occupational assignment. For both whites and blacks, women in atypical occupations are less educated and are from lower socioeconomic backgrounds as compared to those in typical occupations. Also, women in the atypical occupations are more likely to hold full-time jobs, to report stronger work attachment and to be extrinsically motivated in their labor market behavior. In addition, atypical workers usually attain higher rates of pay compared to atypicals.
