Trends in male-female status inequality, 1940-1990
Article Abstract:
Occupational sex inequality underwent a series of fluctuations from the 1940s until the 1980s when it experienced a significantly steep decline. This shows a trend towards gender equality in the labor market in the 1980s. However, this trend should not be projected into the future for there is no guarantee that present labor conditions will remain. These findings were derived from the use of the mean difference in socioeconomic status as indexed by Nam-Powers-Terrie status scores for occupational titles. This research study hopes to fill inadequacies in previous studies.

English proficiency, education, and the conditional economic assimilation of Hispanic and Asian origin men
Article Abstract:
Statistical analyses confirm Stolzenberg's theory of conditional assimilation which states that White Hispanic men with little schooling and poor English skills have lower status occupations than white non-Hispanic men who have the same qualifications. However, English-speaking white Hispanics with a high-school education tend to have the same occupational status as other non-Hispanic men. This leads to the conclusion that English non-fluency lowers income potentials. Separate parameters of model earnings for these groups of men were used to arrive at these conclusions.

Gender, ethnicity, and labor force instability
Article Abstract:
A Survey of Income and Program Participation report shows high labor instability among both the unemployed and successful job-seekers. The occurrence of labor force variance differs significantly among the active and inactive men and women. The study points to an inverse relationship between education and labor force instability, with a greater variance for active over inactive men. The activity status of individuals, minority group status, and labor force instability are conditionally related. The study raises questions about the factors affecting job procurement.
