Abstract: | This paper uses US Census data from 1970 to 1990 to focus on “integrated” occupations—those in which men and women are approximately
equally represented. We focus on the extensive variability that exists across these nominally integrated occupations, specifically
their social demography and the paths by which they reach compositional sex equity. We also examine the link between occupational
integration and race/sex succession, and explore the earnings consequences of working in mixed occupations. Our findings suggest
that integration means quite different things at different levels of the occupational hierarchy and for the women and men
integrating sex-atypical occupations.
