Previous research (Steiger and Wardell 1992) assessed post-industrial society and labor process hypotheses using data representing the entire United States paid workforce for 1950, 1970, and 1990. Results indicate a better fit between changes in the skill composition of the workforce as expected by labor process theory than by post-industrial society theory. The present research focuses on the United States service sector from 1950 to 1990 using detailed occupation by industry data. The research questions are whether the knowledge-based work of the services industries encourages 1) an upgraded and 2) a less gender segregated distribution of workers over time. We find that inclusion of women from the latent labor reserve offsets, in some industries severely, an otherwise upward shift in the proportion of service workers occupying higher skilled jobs. Moreover, where women have maintained a numerical majority, such as in professional services, their standing in the skill structure relative to men significantly deteriorated over the forty years
