Why Does the Spatial Agglomeration of Firms Benefit Workers? Examining the Role of Organizational Diversity in U.S. Industries and Labor Markets
Several recent studies across the social sciences show that the spatial agglomeration of employment in a local labor market benefits both firms and workers in terms of better firm performance and higher wages. Drawing from the organizational ecology perspective, we argue that workers receive higher wages in large industrial clusters and urban labor markets because of the greater degree of organizational diversity relative to smaller local industr…
Public Attitudes Toward the Census: Influences and Trends
Objective. This article considers the determinants of attitudes toward the census. Methods. Data from a survey of Connecticut residents are analyzed. Some of the questions replicate items from previous national surveys. Results. Conservatives and people with low trust in government have more negative views of the census, while interest in politics has no effect. Exposure to advertising has a positive effect on some attitudes. Conclusions. Despite…

Uneven Tides: Rising Inequality in America
Mobility Potential and Job Satisfaction: Mixing Dispositional and Situational Explanations
Data from a dual employee-employer survey are used to investigate the extent to which employees' predictions of the mobility potential of their jobs affects their job satisfaction. Based on a match between the employee's and employer's assessments of the job's mobility potential, systematic variation by 'match' groupings was found. Males more often than females match their employers' assessments of their jobs as providing mobility potential, and …
Employment Relations and the Labor Market: Integrating Institutional and Market Perspectives
From a market perspective, workers' access to bureaucratic personnel structures at work is related to the transferability of their occupational skills. An institutional perspective emphasizes normative and coercive factors like union power, establishment size, occupational status, and extent of government employment. Building on these two perspectives, we examine the impact of an occupation's external marketthe extent to which it offers systemati…
When Bigger is Better: Differences in the Individual-Level Effect of Firm and Establishment Size
Building on previous demonstrations of a linkage between organizational size and individual outcomes, this paper employs a matched employer-employee data set to investigate that relationship. Some portion of the size effect on worker earnings is found to be indirect, as many have assumed, derived either through the organizational consequences of size or the industrial/market consequences of scale. However, the effect is not straightforward. It va…
Informal Hiring and Income in the Labor Market
This note explores the generalizability of the conventional belief that jobs found through weak social ties and through work-related social ties provide higher incomes than jobs found through other means. Data are analyzed from a sample which is representative of a complete cross-section of a large metropolitan labor market. The results show that zero-order relationships generalize in most instances to broadly defined populations. However, the ef…
Black Capitalism and Black Inequality: Some Sociological Considerations
Though economists have demonstrated that, in theory, black capitalism should have little direct impact on the well-being of black noncapitalists, indirect and non-economic effects have not been investigated. Empirical tests of this relationship have been inadequate. Though not denying that black economic well-being may affect black business, we argue that the effect is at least reciprocal, and probably stronger in the other direction. We find tha…

The Myth of Social Class and Criminality: An Empirical Assessment of the Empirical Evidence
Thirty-five studies examining the relationship between social class and crime/delinquency are reduced to comparable statistics using instances where the relationship was studied for specific categories of age, sex, race, place of residence, data type, or offense as units of analysis. The findings from 363 instances are summarized and patterns are identified. The overall results show only a slight negative relationship between class and criminalit…

A Measure of Individual Differences in Sex Stereotyping and Sex Discrimination: The “Macho” Scale
A personality measure of individual differences in sex-role stereotyping and sex discrimination was developed. The “Macho” scale fulfills satisfactory psychometric criteria of internal consistency and reliability, and the 28 items are controlled for social desirability. Personality correlates of macho include sex-role orientation among males, and authoritarianism, and the scale discriminates between criterion groups selected from different ethnic…

The Functional Substitutability of Blacks and Females in the Labor Market: A Closer Look
The interrelationship between labor market discrimination against black males and white females—as reflected in the respective size distributions of their full-time income—is examined for states in the U. S. Employing previously used data, conclusions opposite those of other researchers are reached. The hypothesis of a simple negative association between the two forms of discrimination is rejected, along with the implication of that association t…

Recent publications heralding “substantial black economic gains” in the sixties are found to share a common preoccupation with gaps (rather than distributions) and to rely on a common methodology. We contend that their findings are, at least in part, an artifact of their method. A new measure of trends in income inequality is developed, resulting in quite different findings.

Category/continuum thinking is measured and the effects of dissonance between thought styles and response formats on the ability to predict behavior from measured attitude are investigated. Dissonance is found to have a substantial effect which is attributable primarily to distortions produced when females who tend toward continuum thinking are forced to respond in categories. Contrary to usual practice, continuum formats are found to be generall…
