This paper examines the effects of cyclical fluctuations during 1966-1975 on the occupational mobility of younger black and white male workers. Blacks were more likely to be found at the bottom of the occupational hierarchy than were whites in 1966, 1969, and 1975. Both groups moved up the occupational structure over the time period. However, whites beginning in the same occupation as blacks generally improved their occupational standing more than did blacks.
