Getting the Population Straight: Young Workers, Women Workers, and Black Workers.

Perman, Lauri

Journal of Social Issues, v43 n1 p95-98 1987

Questions the validity of Braddock and McPartland's generalization from a youthful sample of workers to all workers. Also questions Pettigrew and Martin's conclusion from research on women's reluctance to compete for high-status jobs and that Black ambivalence may be partly responsible for smaller pools of black candidates.
