Abstract
The Occupational composition of communities varies widely, and no community has a "typical" occupational structure. Each local community is an integrated part of the national system of urban places and related regions. A major determinant of the internal social structure of cities is their specialized relationships with the total system of cities. Variations in the occupational composition of large metropolitan areas can be attributed primarily to the occupational structure of their "profile industries," those "citybuilding" industries in which the city specializes. Occupational composition of "city-serving" non-profile industries is remarkably similar in all large metropolitan areas. Studies of community structure should specify the impact of intercommunity relationships on intracommunity patterns.
