View Full Paper

Key Points

  • To examine how intersections of gender, race, and social class configure wage inequality and occupational segregation within evolving industrial and postindustrial labor markets.
  • Comparative structural analysis of occupational gender segregation and wage gaps across distinct metropolitan economies (Detroit and Dallas).
  • Decomposition of wage differentials across educational attainment levels (college vs. non-college educated) and demographic intersections.
  • Occupational gender segregation and wage gaps diverge significantly when evaluated across educational and class boundaries.
  • Economic transitions between industrial and postindustrial labor structures reshape the configurations and magnitude of demographic wage disparities.
