Attempts to discover the main determinants of variation in education, income, and occupational prestige for black and white females entering the job market reveal that in both the black and white models, years of education completed was the prime predictor of income and occupational prestige. The most pronounced difference between the models lies in the importance of structural and social-psychological variables for the black model as compared to the white model. Labor market discrimination appears to exist for occupational prestige but not for income.
