The effects of schooling, training, work experience, participation in the core versus the periphery industrial economic sector, and relevant control variables in terms of their impact on occupational status and annual earnings are examined. This study estimates multiple regression models for four race-IQ groups--low and average IQ for black and white men. The results show that the factors responsible for vocational success are alike for low IQ and average IQ groups within racial categories.
