Occupational Advancement in the Late 1960s: An Indirect Test of the Dual Labor Market Hypothesis Journal of Human Resources 11,2 (Spring 1976): 155-171. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145450 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Census of Population; Job Tenure; Labor Market, Secondary; Mobility; Work History The occupational mobility of black and white males during the late 1960s is examined to test the hypotheses that large and systematic racial differentials exist in both between-firm and within-firm job upgrading. Longitudinal data from the 1970 Census and the NLS of Older and Young Men are used in the empirical analysis. Neither sample provides evidence of a systematic racial differential in the effect of interfirm mobility on occupational advancement. The evidence with respect to intrafirm advancement is less unequivocal. Given the racial differential in initial occupational levels, however, only small black-white differences in advancement appear within internal labor markets. |
