Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Scholars of occupational sex segregation recognize the importance of states’ policies to segregation, but they have not tapped into the political sociology and political science literatures to determine how states’ structures impact occupational sex segregation. Political researchers have found that states reduce inequalities in society via policies; but they have not determined if states influence occupational sex segregation, an important source of gender inequality, in the United States. This paper contributes to these research areas by determining if states’ structures are associated with aggregate levels of occupational sex segregation. We utilize the 2000 Equal Employment Opportunity file of the Census, along with data published from American FactFinder and various political resources to determine if the structure of the contiguous U.S. states impact levels of occupational sex segregation across counties. We find that a substantial portion of the variation in inequality across counties is associated with states, and components of states’ structures, including the strength of unions in combination with the strength of the Democratic party, help explain variations in segregation across counties. Furthermore, pay equity and family leave policies have important implications for occupational sex segregation.
