This study compares changes in various occupational categories between 1960 and 1966 for nonwhites and whites. During the 1960-1966 period, employment of nonwhites in prestige occupations has increased dramatically, both for males and for females. However, the "employment gap" between whites and nonwhites is still extremely large, insofar as the better occupational categories are concerned. Use of data for "nonwhites" to represent Black Americans results in overestimates of their proportions in white-collar occupations.
