Occupational Prestige in the United States, 1925-63

Robert W. Hodge; Paul M. Siegel; Peter H. Rossi

A correlation of .99 between prestige scores derived from the 1947 North-Hatt-NORC study of occupational prestige and a 1963 replication of it indicates that very few changes in occupational prestige ratings have occurred in the sixteen-year period. Cautioned by the recognition that the North-Hatt-NORC list of occupations is not a very representative or extensive sample of occupations, one can marshal evidence from other studies dating back to 1925 which does not invalidate the view that no appreciable changes in the prestige structure of occupations have occurred in the United States in the last four decades. While over the entire period, 1925-63, no systematic trends can be detected in the prestige of particular occupations, it is possible to show that systematic, though small, changes were ocurring between 1947 and 1963. Scientific occupations were increasing in prestige, culturally oriented occuaptions, were occurring between 1947 and 1963. Scientific occupations were increasing in prestige, culturally oriented occupations were falling, and artisans were enjoying a mild upward trend. Nevertheless, the overriding conclusion must be that the structure of occupational prestige is remarkably stable through time as well as space.

Occupational mobility as a probability process

Robert W. Hodge

ResumenCierto numéro de pasadas investigaciones han asumido que la movilidad ocupacional entre generaciones puede ser descrita como un proceso Markov, pero esta asumsión no ha sido nunca sujeta a pruebas empiricas. Usando datos pertinentes a la ocupación de abuelos, padres e hijos, nosotros podemos demostrar que la hipótesis markoviana no es valida. Otras investigaciones han tratado la movilidad intrageneraeional como variadas clases de procesos de probabilidad, pero no han mirado el movimiento entre ocupaciones en si mismo, como un proceso Markov. Usando el estudio de Movilidad Ocupacional en Seis Ciudades, nosotros también podemos demostrar para cada una de las tres cohortes de edades que la movilidad ocupacional intrageneraeional no puede ser totalmente descrita como un proceso Markov de primer orden.Aunque, relativamente hay más herencia ocupacional intergeneracional y más estabilidad ocupacional intrageneraeional que la requerida por las teorias markovianas, hay sinembargo una impresionante similaridad entre las actuales corrientes entre ocupaciones y aquellas requeridas para un proceso markoviano de primer orden. Por lo que se refiere a este caso, los individuos escapan a al influencia de la ocupación de sus abuelos y a la influencia de otras ocupaciones, eligiendo tempranamente su propia carrera. Así, mientras la movilidad ocupacional no puede ser totalmente descrita por una cadena markoviana de primer orden, su similaridad a dicho proceso testifica la gran fluides de la sociedad norteamericana. Los conceptos de “carrera” y la discución de una persistente “cultura de la pobreza” requieren modification a la luz de estos descubrimientos.

Occupational assimilation as a competitive process.

Robert W. Hodge; Patricia Hodge

Insofar as Negroes and females compete with white males for jobs and are willing to accept wages below those demanded by white males, the incomes of the latter group will be adjusted downward by the competitive process. Regressions over detailed occupations of white male income on white male education, proportion Negro and proportion female for all occupations and within each major occupational level support this hypothesis, consistently indicating that white male income is negatively associated, net of education, with the proportion female and proportion Negro in an occupation. These cross-sectional results, augmented by a longitudinal analysis, suggest that discriminatory policies against females and Negroes are not due solely to prejudice but also to the attempts of occupational groups dominated by white males to avoid competition from minority workers.

Politische Ideologie und Berufsprestige

Robert W. Hodge; Vered Kraus; Garry S. Meyer

Von den modernen Nationalstaaten besitzt jeder bedeutende kulturelle Eigenheiten. Dementsprechend gibt es Unterschiede in den charakteristischen Wertsystemen, ein Gegenstand, der zum Bezugspunkt eines reichhaltigen Materials anthropologischer, soziologischer und psychologischer Untersuchungen wurde (siehe z.B. Cantril 1965; Inkeles und Smith 1974; McClelland 1966). Wert- und Kultursysteme sind mit okonomischen Systemen verknupft, mit denen sie ubereinstimmen konnen oder nicht. Ein Kern der Wertgrundlagen einer Gesellschaft besteht deshalb aus den Leitlinien, die der Bewertung und Einschatzung von verschiedenen Arten berufsbezogener Arbeit dienen. Unter Berucksichtigung der nationalen Eigenheiten in den Kultur- und Wertsystemen wurde man auf der Basis dieser Behauptung allein kaum erwarten, eine enge Ubereinstimmung von Land zu Land in der Bewertung von Berufen zu finden.
