Generation, Ethnicity, and Occupational Opportunity in Late 19th Century America.

Landale, Nancy S.; Guest, Avery M.

American Sociological Review, v55 n2 p280-96 Apr 1990

Investigates the influence of generation and country of origin on occupational mobility between 1880 and 1900 among a sample of U.S. White men. These factors seem to have had little influence on the mobility process during this period, though northern and western European immigrants gained occupationally from newer migration flows. (AF)
