Abstract
The degree to which blacks have penetrated municipal civil service bureaucracies is found to vary positively from city to city as a function of several economic factors: the health of the local private sector, the relative scarcity of prestige jobs in private industry for blacks, and weak or absent public employee union coverage. To the extent that bureaucratic employment provides access to policymaking, blacks are increasingly laying claim to a significant share of the governance of economically healthy cities, more so even than in the fiscally precarious cities governed by black mayors. It is in these economically healthy cities that true possibilities for biracial local government are seen to exist.
