A similarity index for all occupations
Occupations are a critical theoretical concept in the social sciences, but they are difficult to operationalize and often internally heterogeneous, posing challenges for researchers. This has led some scholars to question the value of occupations in inequality and mobility research. This paper introduces the occupational similarity index (OSI) as a tool to help understand and overcome the limitations of occupation-based research. The index direct…
Using Relative Distribution Methods to Study Economic Polarization across Categories and Contexts
In addition to overall dispersion, the distributional shape of economic status has attracted growing attention in the inequality literature. Economic polarization is a specific form of distributional change, characterized by a shrinking middle of the distribution and a growing top and bottom, with potentially important and unique social consequences. Building on relative distribution methods and drawing from the literature on job polarization, th…
What’s in an Occupation? Investigating Within-Occupation Variation and Gender Segregation Using Job Titles and Task Descriptions
Occupations have long been central to the study of inequality and mobility. However, the occupational categories typical in most U.S. survey data conceal potentially important patterns within occupations. This project uses a novel data source that has not previously been released for analysis: the verbatim text responses provided by respondents to the General Social Survey from 1972 to 2018 when asked about their occupation. These text data allow…
