Abstract
This paper examines sexual segregation in 42 occupational categories in the metropolitan areas of the United States as of 1980. The results indicate that variations in metropolitan area segregation are strongly related to local distributions of occupations (which we view as to segregate). Net of structural propensities and of considerable explanatory importance, however, are a number of indicators of population size, economic vitality, and women's competitiveness. The paper concludes by viewing organizations within metropolitan area environments, and urges that variables pertaining to metropolitan areas and to organizations be combined into a single model.
