文献摘要 Following a review of the history and sources of socioeconomic
indexes for occupations, we estimate a new set of indexes for 1990
Census occupation lines, based on relationships between the prestige
ratings obtained by Nakao and Treas in the 1989 General Social
Survey and characteristics of occupational incumbents in the
1990 Census. We also investigate theoretical and empirical relationships
among socioeconomic and prestige indexes, using data
from the 1994 General Social Survey. Many common occupations,
especially those held by women, do not fit the typical relationships
among prestige, education, and earnings. The fit between prestige
and socioeconomic characteristics of occupations can be improved
by statistical transformation of the variables. However, in rudimentary
models of occupational stratification, prestige-validated
socioeconomic indexes are of limited value. They give too much
weight to occupational earnings, and they ignore intergenerational
relationships between occupational education and occupational
earnings. Levels of occupational education appear to define
the main dimension of occupational persistence across and within
generations. We conclude that composite indexes of occupational
socioeconomic status are scientifically obsolete.
