Race, Ethnicity, and Attainment in the Early Career Report to the National Council of La Raza, U.S. Department of Labor, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Educational Returns; Ethnic Groups/Ethnicity; Hispanics; Occupational Attainment; Racial Differences; Teenagers Data from the 1979 NLSY are used to explore socioeconomic differentials in early career among Chicanos, blacks and whites. The attainment process appears to be more complex and disjointed for blacks than for whites or Chicanos. In fact, attainment for Chicanos seems to be less complex than for either blacks or whites and predicated primarily on merit and aspirations. Differences in the attainment process of the three groups are highlighted by the fact that blacks, although having more years of schooling, coming from better socioeconomic origins, and realizing greater income returns to their education than Chicanos, still earn less, on the average, and work at jobs comparable to those held by Chicanos. |
