Routes to Higher Wages and Status: An Analysis of Career Mobility Among Women Workers Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1983 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Job Patterns; Mobility; Occupational Status; Occupations; Simultaneity; Wages, Women This paper examines women's mobility patterns and associated changes in wages and occupational status over a ten- year period. Mobility has different effects on the wages and occupational status of different groups of women. Intrafirm occupational changes lead to higher status jobs and average or above average wage gains for most groups. Intrafirm moves are also the best route to achieving higher wages for older women in sales and service jobs. Avoiding excessive simultaneous employer and occupational job changing is also important for improving wages for most groups. Older black women are an exception, however. Because they were initially concentrated in low-wage jobs, the most mobile were apparently able to improve their positions substantially. Thus, one pattern of mobility is not consistently superior to another as a route to higher wages and status, and different age, race and occupational groups need to follow different strategies to achieve success. |
