Abstract: Occupational Segregation, the differential distribution of groups of workers across occupations, provides one of the most important mechanisms for creating, maintaining and legitimating social inequality. Despite the importance of occupational segregation for economic inequality, there has been relatively little recent research on racial occupational segregation. To extend our knowledge of occupational race segregation through 2009, the current research examined levels and trends in occupational race segregation from 1980 through 2009. Findings indicate the while occupational race segregation declined dramatically from 1960 through 1980, the decline from 1980 to 2000 was at a much slower pace and had stalled completely after 2000. Segregation levels differ substantially by age, education and sex.
