Labor Sectors and the Status Attainment Process: Race and Sex Comparisons Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1981 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Discrimination, Sex; Earnings; Employment; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Labor Market, Secondary; Mobility; Occupational Attainment; Simultaneity; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Various hypotheses from the theory of dual labor markets about why race and sex differentials in earnings and occupational attainments continue to exist are tested. Using eight year panel data from the NLS of Young Men and Young Women, simultaneous equation models and dynamic models of mobility are used to compare the early career processes of black and white men and women. In general, the empirical evidence does not support the notion of a strict bimodal division of the economy into primary and secondary labor sectors. Mobility exists between the sectors and the earnings structure shows only minimal evidence of bipolarization. |
