The emerging post‐industrial social stratification in The Netherlands appears to have an ethnic dimension. This ethnic dimension manifests itself most clearly in the larger cities, mainly due to the combination of a relatively high pace of economic restructuring and a strong migrant presence. In this article, an attempt is made to explain the social stratification in Amsterdam by distinguishing three labour market positions. Data are presented and different theoretical approaches are tested. No single approach can account for the intricate pattern that reveals both significant inter‐ as well as intra‐ethnic differences, partly related to gender. Due to differences in migration histories, socio‐cultural orientations and levels of discrimination, post‐industrial transition in Amsterdam appears to affect the various ethnic groups in quite diverse ways
