High-skill return migration in the technology, medical, and academic sectors: The case of India and the USA

The research presented herein seeks to understand the extent of the relationship between the sector o…

The political orientation of Blacks and Whites: Converging, diverging, or remaining constant
This paper examines the extent to which patterns of public opinion between Blacks and Whites have converged, diverged, or remained constant since the late1970s. It explores how trends in public opinion reflect a decline in the role of race in the formation of pubic opinion. The findings show a slight convergence of public opinion between Blacks and Whites on some issues and stabilization on others depending of the nature of the issue. The data al…
Local Labor Market Structure and the Implications for Black Unemployment in the Late 1980S
Validation Study of the Motivation for Occupational Choice Scale
With a sample of 332 employed adults we tested the factor structure of a 29-item scale proposed by Davis in 1987 to measure seven factors. While Davis's work did not support that structure, with the use of confirmatory factor analysis we found support for a seven-factor structure over that of a six-factor structure
The occupational mobility of black males revisited: Does race matter
This study examined the extent to which opportunities for social mobility (as measured by occupational mobility) have or have not continued to expand for black males since the early 1970s. Among the findings of this study were: (1) intergenerational occupational mobility for both black and white males were associated with their fathers' occupational attainment, however black males experienced greater downward mobility than white males; (2) interg…

This article examines differences in the income status of black and white populations in Southern nonmetropolitan counties and discusses how various labor market, social, and human capital characteristics influence the income status of the respective groups. The data show an inconsistent pattern between black and white populations’ income level in Southern nonmetropolitan counties. The data also show that various structural/institutional (e.g., l…
