Occupational Differences Between Hispanics and Non-Hispanics

Ross Stolzenberg

Published 1982

This research concerns occupational differences between Hispanic and non-Hispanic American males, and between males of different ethnic backgrounds within the Hispanic U.S. male labor force. Data from the 1975 Survey of Income and Education are used to develop a model of occupational achievement which is used to test for the effects of schooling, English language ability, foreign birth, labor force experience, and geographic location on occupational achievement. Once these factors are held constant, findings do not suggest that the process of occupational achievement works differently for some Hispanic ethnic subgroups than for others. English language ability is found to have very strong effects on occupational achievement of Hispanics. Numerous other results are reported.
