Neo-Marxist crisis theory and sectoral analysis are used to analyze differential vulnerability to the effects of recessions among minority and female workers. The 1974–75 recession is used as a case study to examine the numerous labor market consequences encountered by workers employed in various industrial and service sectors. By focusing crisis theory on the 1974–75 slump, conclusions are reached about the relationship among sectoral analysis, differential vulnerability to labor market disruption, and discrimination directed toward minority and female workers. Inconsistent with neo-Marxist predictions, the data show more support for an explanation based on simple labor market discrimination
