Human Capital and Black Women's Occupational Mobility
本文测量了自1940年以来人力资本对黑人女性职业地位和相对收入提升的贡献，发现人力资本改善仅解释了她们进入文职工作的六分之一，劳动力市场结构变化（尤其是1960年代）更为重要。
This paper measures the contribution of human capital to the dramatic cimprovements in black women's occupational status and relative earnings since 1940, exemplified by their shift from domestic to clerical work. Logit analysis using census data from 1940‐80 and CPS data from 1988 shows that improvements in African American women's human capital explains just one‐sixth of their entry into clerical work. Changing labor market structures, particularly during the 1960s, appear far more important.
