Previous research based on analyses of aggregate national trends in occupational segregation suggests that sex and race/ethnic employment segregation has declined in the United States since the 1960s. We add to the existing knowledge base by documenting for the first time male-female, black-white, and Hispanic-white segregation trends using private sector workplace data. The general pattern is that segregation declined for all three categorical comparisons between 1966 and 1980, but after 1980 only sex segregation continued to decline markedly. We estimate regression-based decompositions in the time trends for workplace desegregation to determine whether the observed changes represent change in segregation behavior at the level of workplaces or merely changes in the sectoral and regional distribution of workplaces with stable industrial or local labor market practices. These decompositions suggest that, in addition to desegregation caused by changes in the composition of the population of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission monitored private sector firms, there has been real workplace-level desegregation since 1964.}, number={4}, journal={AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL REVIEW}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, Donald and Zimmer, Catherine and Stainback, Kevin and Robinson, Corre and Taylor, Tiffany and McTague, Tricia}, year={2006}, month={Aug}, pages={565–588} } @article{warren_tomaskovic-devey_smith_zingraff_mason_2006, title={Driving while black: Bias processes and racial disparity in police stops}, volume={44}, ISSN={["1745-9125"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1745-9125.2006.00061.x}, abstractNote={We estimate the degree of racial disparity in police vehicular stops separately for local and state police in North Carolina in the year 2000. We introduce four mechanisms that might produce racial disparities in police stops—racial profiling, race sensitive police deployment, cognitive bias and stereotyping, and prejudice. We then model the relative odds of police vehicle stops as a function of race, driving behavior, and other demographic statuses separately by police organization type, with controls for omitted variable bias at both the driver and spatial level. We find only weak evidence of racial disparity in stops by officers of the state highway patrol but stronger evidence in those made by local police officers.}, number={3}, journal={CRIMINOLOGY}, author={Warren, Patricia and Tomaskovic-Devey, Donald and Smith, William and Zingraff, Matthew and Mason, Marcinda}, year={2006}, month={Aug}, pages={709–738} } @article{tomaskovic-devey_wright_czaja_miller_2006, title={Self-reports of police speeding stops by race: Results from the North Carolina reverse record check survey}, volume={22}, ISSN={["1573-7799"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10940-006-9012-0}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF QUANTITATIVE CRIMINOLOGY}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, Donald and Wright, Cynthia Pfaff and Czaja, Ronald and Miller, Kirk}, year={2006}, month={Dec}, pages={279–297} } @article{tomaskovic-devey_thomas_johnson_2005, title={Race and the accumulation of human capital across the career: A theoretical model and fixed-effects application}, volume={111}, ISSN={["0002-9602"]}, DOI={10.1086/431779}, abstractNote={The authors develop an explicitly sociological variant on human capital theory, emphasizing that most human capital acquisition is a social product, not an individual investment decision.

Although the law made discrimination illegal, its effectiveness, especially Title VII covering the employment domain, remains highly contested. The authors argue that legal shifts produce workplace racial integration only to the extent that there are additional political pressures on firms to desegregate. They examine fluctuating national political pressure to enforce equal employment opportunity law and affirmative action mandates as key influences on the pace of workplace racial desegregation and explore trajectories of Black-White integration in U.S. workplaces since 1966. Their results show that although federal and state equal employment opportunity pressures had initial successes in reducing racial segregation in workplaces, little progress has been made since the early 1980s. They conclude that racial desegregation is an ongoing politically mediated process, not a natural or inevitable outcome of early civil rights movement victories. }, number={9}, journal={AMERICAN BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST}, author={Stainback, K and Robinson, CL and Tomaskovic-Devey, D}, year={2005}, month={May}, pages={1200–1228} } @article{robinson_taylor_tomaskovic-devey_zimmer_irvin_2005, title={Studying race or ethnic and sex segregation at the establishment level - Methodological issues and substantive opportunities using EEO-1 reports}, volume={32}, ISSN={["1552-8464"]}, DOI={10.1177/0730888404272008}, abstractNote={ Scholars of employment segregation now recognize that gender, race, and class processes are mutually constitutive.

This problem is approached in two quite different ways. First, a potential conceptual and methodological weakness in all research that focuses on national occupational, rather than local job and organizational, processes is pointed out. Second, the implications of organizationally relevant social closure and gendered labor process theories for our understanding of wage determination models is developed. The gendered devaluation and specialized human capital theories, which are stressed by Tam and his critics, do not represent the entire story. We find that the sex composition effect on wages exists, but it is indirect and relatively weak, operating largely through lower access of typically female jobs to extensive training. There is no strong evidence for the existence of a more generic gendered labor process in these cross‐sectional data. The evidence for social closure processes in this article is limited to the gendered nature of access to on‐the‐job training.}, number={1}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, D and Skaggs, S}, year={2002}, month={Jul}, pages={102–128} } @misc{tomaskovic-devey_2001, title={Consider her adversity: Four essays on gender inequality in the labor market.}, volume={38}, number={1}, journal={Sociologisk Forskning}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, D.}, year={2001}, pages={117–122} } @misc{tomaskovic-devey_2001, title={Demographic differences in organizations: Current research and future directions}, volume={28}, number={2}, journal={Work and Occupations}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, D.}, year={2001}, pages={275–277} } @misc{tomaskovic-devey_2001, title={Doing engineering: The career attainment and mobility of Caucasian, Black, and Asian American engineers}, volume={30}, number={2}, journal={Contemporary Sociology}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, D.}, year={2001}, pages={131–132} } @article{tomaskovic-devey_skaggs_1999, title={An establishment level test of the statistical discrimination hypothesis}, volume={26}, ISSN={["0730-8884"]}, DOI={10.1177/0730888499026004003}, abstractNote={ This article explores the basic assumption of statistical discrimination theory, which holds that women and minorities earn lower wages because they, on average, have lower productivity. Employer exploitation of women and minorities and social closure by advantaged employees are advanced as alternative explanations for the lower wages of women and minorities. The authors first demonstrate that there are substantial gender and racial wage penalties net of human capital for a sample of employees. The primary analysis focuses on the sample of private-for-profit establishments in which these individuals are employed. Establishment productivity as well as aggregate salaries and wages and profits are regressed on the sex and race composition of the establishment with other factors that may influence establishment productivity. Findings show that neither the sex nor race compositions of the workplace are associated with productivity. The authors interpret the results to be most consistent with a social closure account of gender and racial earnings inequality. }, number={4}, journal={WORK AND OCCUPATIONS}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, D and Skaggs, S}, year={1999}, month={Nov}, pages={422–445} } @article{tomaskovic-devey_skaggs_1999, title={Degendered jobs?

We conceptualize spatial variation in economic development and its consequences for inequality to be embedded in both local and international dynamics. The character of local economic development, it is argued, reflects the organizational base and heterogeneity of local elites, the divisions and relative power of nonelites, and the embeddedness of the local political economy in national and world systems of politics and production. These ideas are developed and made historically and spatially specific through an analysis of uneven development in one Southern state, North Carolina. Our findings suggest that contemporary patterns of uneven development and the resulting income deprivations and inequality reflect conditional interactions between elite economic projects and racial divisions within the working class. We find that outside investment seems to reproduce rather than disrupt local patterns of inequality and poverty.}, number={4}, journal={SOCIOLOGICAL FORUM}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, D and Roscigno, VJ}, year={1997}, month={Dec}, pages={565–597} }
