註釋This paper examines the occupational distributions in the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and the wage implications of these distributions for men and women of different racial and ethnic origins. Our data come from two separate projects on CETA, both conducted for the National Commission on Employment Policy. One (Berryman et al., 1981) assessed the nature and equity of men's and women's experiences in CETA, a substantial part of the study being devoted to CETA's occupational desegregation record for women. The second (Berryman and Waite, 1982) assessed ethnic and racial differences in CETA experiences, focusing on whites, blacks, and hispanics and on hispanic subgroups. CETA's occupational desegregation record for women is important for several reasons. First, one of CETA's legislated purposes is to improve the economic prospects of its clients. As we know, substantially more female than male occupations pay poverty level wages. Persistent occupational segregation parallels the persistent male-female wage differential, and differences in male and female occupational distributions account for over a quarter of the wage differential.
