چکیده
This paper focuses upon recent annual national trends in racial segregation in professional occupations which are based on Current Population Survey (microdata) occupationand industry-specific distributions of employed black and white professionals for 1968-1979. Annual changes in the patterns of these trends are descripti~ely analyzed with the objective of exposing their implications to construct a dynamic (cross-time) explanatory model able to evaluate macro-covariates of racial segregation in professional occupations. The results of the analysis suggest there is a need to refine and further develop the popular explanations of occupatio~al race-segregation.
