Resumo

Scholars of employment segregation now recognize that gender, race, and class processes are mutually constitutive. Coupled with new data-collection strategies, understanding of the organization of work and distribution of inequality will improve. The authors explore the strengths and weaknesses of longitudinal establishment data collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), comparing these to other data used to study workplace status processes. Findings both confirm and dispute well-known occupation-based analyses of workplace segregation and lead to similar substantive conclusions. EEOC data are useful for discovering trends in segregation, for locating segregation in spatial, temporal, and industrial contexts, and for combining with organizational data to uncover mechanisms.
