This paper combines research on race and gender inequality to examine the impact of the race and sex composition of broad occupational categories on the wage attainment of black and white women using the 1999 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women. Wage differentials across levels of feminization and racialization are examined. Findings indicate significant interactions between race and occupation level characteristics, as well as percent female. The racial gap in wages is smallest for women working in service occupations, compared to professional, sales, craft, and laborer categories. Workers in occupations with more minorities reported lower wages?this pattern is evident for both black and white women. However, wage depression for black females is stable and significant across all of the models, regardless of feminization or racialization levels. This study underscores the importance of examining wage inequality within and between racial/ethnic groups for women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
