Generational Changes in Racial Inequality in Occupational Attainment, 1950-2010: A Synthetic Cohort Analysis
This paper analyzes age and cohort changes in the occupational attainment of Blacks and Whites born in successive decades from 1910 to 1979. Occupational attainment is operationalized as "occupational returns to education" and "earnings returns to occupation." The primary objective is to determine whether the relative occupational attainment of Blacks of the baby-boom generation and Generation X improved over that of their great-grandparents, gra…

Migration and the Employment and Wages of Native and Immigrant Workers
This article assesses the association between migration (both international and internal) and the employment status and earnings of young non-college-educated native White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and immigrant white-collar and blue-collar workers in the United States during the decade from 1980 to 1990. The authors present results that only partly support the claim that internal migrants and immigrants are substitutes for native workers. On one …
Race and Unemployment: Labor Market Experiences of Black and White Men, 1968-1988
This article addresses two questions: First, why is Black unemployment persistently higher than White unemployment? Second, how can this fact be reconciled with narrowing Black/White differentials in educational attainment, occupational position, and earnings? We show that the persistent racial gap in unemployment is due to differential access to employment opportunities by region, occupational placement, labor market segmentation by race, and la…

Migration and the Earnings of Hispanic Men
We investigate the relationship between geographic mobility and the earnings of Hispanic men and white men using the 1980 [U.S.] Public Use Sample. Migration status and labor force participation status are treated as joint selection processes and are incorporated into the earnings models. Despite the distinctive social and residential profiles of Mexican Puerto Rican and Cuban men results show that residence in a concentrated ethnic area deters m…

Employment Returns to Migration
This paper examines whether migration between 1975 and 1980 affected the likelihood of being employed in 1980 among black, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and nowHispanic white men. Multivariate statistical analyses of the Public Use Microdata Samples of the 1980 decennial census reveal that migration did not increase the likelihood of being employed among the native-born population, especially black, Mexican, and Puerto Rican men. Only the foreign-born w…
Components of change in migration and destination-propensity rates for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas: 1935–1980
This article focuses on components of change in out-migration and destination-propensity rates of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. The results indicate that changes in subgroup-specific rates were the driving force behind the changing patterns between and within these two areas. Composition effects played a secondary role, mainly counteracting the negative impact of changing rates. Although the rate of change in out-migration from metropol…
Aspects of Migration in an Advanced Industrial Society
This paper tests the hypothesis that 1935-80 U.S. migration patterns both within and between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas and regions and migrant/nonmigrant educational differences reflect regional changes in socioeconomic development and settlement patterns. Gross migration flows support the mobility transition hypothesis and the idea that developmental changes in metropolitanization structure the context of migration. Since the Great …
A Reply to Finis Welch
Welch's reanalysis of the results reported in my earlier article provides a different, although not contradictory, picture of the long-term impact of school desegregation programs on the enrollment of white students in public schools. His results, derived from an assessment of the dynamic implications of the lagged regression results I reported, clearly indicate that affected school districts do not recover the enrollments they lose because of th…

Metropolitan and nonmetropolitan migration streams: 1935–1980
Results based on an analysis of migration streams involving the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan sectors and covering a longer time interval than previously possible indicate that efforts to describe changes in the volume of movements connecting these sectors could benefit from greater attention to other related streams as well as existing patterns of population concentration. The metropolitanization process continues but is now being affected su…

Migration and Occupational Mobility: A Research Note
Migration and Occupational Mobility: A Research Note
This paper investigates whether migration promotes occupational mobility and whether different types of migrants benefit equally from the migration experience. Results from a lagged regression model of 1970 occupational attainment clearly indicate that recent migrants are substantially more likely to be upwardly occupationally mobile than nonmigrants and, among whites, receive greater returns on educational attainment. Previous migration experien…
The Impact of School Desegregation Programs on White Public-School Enrollment, 1968-1976
This article examines the findings of a national study of the impact of school desegregation programs on white public-school enrollment trends in school districts grouped according to region, metropolitan status, and source of pressure to desegregate. The analysis is based on a larger and more diverse sample of districts than was used in previous studies. It shows that the increased exposure of white pupils to black pupils (or interracial contact…
Urban Ecology: Urbanization and Systems of Cities
This paper reviews the literature on the nature and extent of interrelations among cities in advanced industrial societies. It summarizes contemporary population distribution and redistribution trends in these societies and their causes. Finally, it attempts to identify some of the most important issues for the development of a comparative theory of urbanization

Industrial location and economic potential in Western Europe

Economic potentials were calculated for Western Europe by taking regional incomes and costs of distance between all regions in order to measure each region's attraction for manufacturing industry under various sets of conditions. Separate centres of high potential were found before the Customs Union, but afterwards, a s…

The Replication Problem in Sociology: A Report and a Suggestion
The deleterious effects of joint bias in favor of statistical inference and against replication are becoming well known. The acceptance of numerous Type I errors into the literature is by far the most serious of these. Data on the contents of three major journals support the contention that a joint bias for statistical significance tests, for rejections, and against replication exists in modern sociology. This finding replicates that of Sterling …

The Ecology of a Black Business District
A number of issues have been discussed thus far in this article, involving the initial development, persistence, and the most recent decline of the BBD in Birmingham. A brief summary of the major points emphasized in previous sections is in order. First, the ecological development of the BBD in Birmingham is somewhat similar to the pattern identified for BBDs in other southern cities. The location of black businesses moved from a pattern of dispe…

Cohort Size Effects and Migration
This article explores whether changes in the size of cohorts entering the labor force affect the propensity to migrate and the socioeconomic circumstances of migrants at destination. The flow of young in-migrants to large SMSAs declined during the 1965–76 period, but the relative socioeconomic standing of migrants at destination was unaffected by either cohort size or regional differentials in economic growth. It is suggested that a significant r…

Patterns of White Avoidance
This paper addresses the issue of whether whites' utilization of alternate forms of schooling is racially motivated.

The prediction of fertility among catholics: A longitudinal analysis
A longitudinal analysis of the reproductive behavior of a sample of Catholics who were participants in the 1965 NFS and reinterviewed in 1969 is reported in this paper. Fertility over the period studied varied systematically with the additional number of children intended in 1965. In addition, this study has documented a predictive role for method of contraception and the experience of premarital pregnancy. Women using less effective methods and …
