Description
The paper integrates the internal colonial model with
the dual labor market perspective. Using data from the
1960 and 1970 Censuses, it assesses the impact of Civil
Rights legislation on the education, income, and occupation
distributions of black males. The findings are that
the increase in blacks with college degrees has resulted
in black males moving at a disproportionately high rate
into upper level occupations such as professional,
technical, management, and administrative occupations.
This may be contributing to the growing inequality of
income among blacks that has been noted in the literature.
It also supports the position that the benefits
from Civil Rights legislation will be greatest for
blacks who were already relatively well off.
