Abstract
Analysis of occupational data from the 1960 and 1970 [U.S.] censuses and the Current Population Surveys of 1971 to 1981 reveals that occupational segregation of men and women declined more rapidly during the decade of the seventies than during the sixties. Most of the decline was due to changes in the sex composition of some traditionally male occupations. Womens rate of entry into nontraditional occupations increased with the most dramatic changes occurring among managerial occupations. In contrast the heavily male crafts occupations and the heavily female clerical occupations remained as segregated during the 1970s as they were during the 1960s.
