Industrial Sector and Career Mobility Reconsidered
重新审视工业部门与职业流动性的关系,发现工业部门对职业流动性的影响有限,而蓝领与白领的区分影响更大。
The relationship between industrial sector and career mobility is reexamined. It is argued that one must separate stayers and movers when studying career mobility. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men andfrom the March 1981 Current Population Survey are employed. Two industrial sector models are tested, and are compared with a blue-collar vs. white-collar dichotomy. Industrial sector is shown to have only a modest impact on career mobility: Industrial sector is no more important for blacks and women than for white men. For all groups, collar color inhibits career mobility significantly more than does industrial sector.
