Perhaps surprisingly, the concentration of men and women in sex-typical work does not vary much by race and ethnicity. For example, in 1993, the average percentage of females in the occupations traditionally held by women was 65% for white women, 66% for African American women, and 67% for Latinas; these differences were not statistically significant. Nor did the difference between the percentage of females in the occupations traditionally held by men differ significantly across the three race/ethnic groups. Thus, although there is substantial race segregation, such that black women and Latinas are often in different, less skilled, and less well-rewarded jobs than white women, the concentration in gendered jobs does not vary much by race.
