Abstract:
|
Since industrial restructuring emerged as a concept of interest and intense debate, much of the analytical attention has been focused on how workers responded to period markers like changing family structures and shifts in the hiring tendencies of manufacturing firms. In the case of African-American women, skill and structural mismatches are generally thought to play key roles in determining earning potential. In order to make sense of the reversal of fortune among African-American women workers in recent years (Newsome and Ni Dodoo, 2002), this analysis draws on Census data between 1970 and 2000 to explore how various indicators account for variations in status over the employment career. Overall, these findings show that the structural changes that occurred in the postindustrial era affected workers in distinctive ways. These findings also suggest that most of the variation in status attainment we observe among women and men, regardless of race, is related to distinctions in their ability to translate their skills and experience into status over time. |
