1.	Gender Differences in the Impact of Job Mobility on Earnings: The Role of Occupational Segregation Social Science Research 74 (August 2018): 30-44. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X17304660 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Earnings; Gender Differences; Occupational Segregation In recent years, researchers have begun to explore the extent to which the impact of switching firms (inter-firm mobility) on wages varies between men and women. Using data from the NLSY79 from 1979 to 2012, this paper extends existing research by exploring how occupational segregation and individual level factors contribute to gender differences in the impact of voluntary inter-firm mobility on wages. The paper also examines how patterns vary depending on education level. Findings suggest that men without a college education receive greater wage gains from voluntary inter-firm mobility than similarly educated women although there is no overall gender difference for individuals with a bachelor' degree. The wage returns to voluntary inter-firm mobility for both men and women increase as a function of the male representation in the occupation. For individuals without a college education, the male premium to voluntary inter-firm mobility is largest in highly male dominated occupations. However, women with a bachelor's degree employed in highly male dominated occupations use voluntary inter-firm mobility to narrow the gender wage gap.

2.	Occupational Mobility for Whom?: Education, Cohorts, the Life Course and Occupational Gender Composition, 1970-2010 Research in Social Stratification and Mobility 59 (February 2019): 81-93. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027656241830009X Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79, NLSY97, Young Women Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Census of Population; Mobility, Occupational; Occupational Segregation; Occupations, Female Over the past 50 years, occupational segregation by gender has markedly declined in the United States. This paper uses data from the decennial censuses and the National Longitudinal Surveys from 1967 to 2013 to explore how trends over time in the occupational gender composition of women's jobs vary according to educational attainment. The paper also examines the relative contributions of inter-generational and intra-generational occupational mobility to changes in occupational gender composition over time for high school educated women and women with a bachelor's degree. The findings indicate that for women with a bachelor's degree, declines in the likelihood of working in a female dominated occupation are primarily due to changes across cohorts. High school educated women experience smaller changes across cohorts but are more likely than women with a bachelor's degree to move to gender integrated occupations over the course of their careers. Fixed effects models show that the changes over the life course reflect changes in the gender composition of individual women's occupations rather than changes in the composition of the labor force. Both occupational mobility across and within broad groups of occupations contribute to changes in the occupational gender composition for high school educated women; for women with a bachelor's degree, mobility across broad groups of occupations is most important.

3.	Occupational Mobility, Gender and Class in the United States, 1965-2015 Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2016 Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79, NLSY97, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; Mobility, Interfirm; Mobility, Occupational; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This dissertation consists of three papers. The first paper examines the impact of inter-firm mobility on wage trajectories of three birth cohorts of young male workers, focusing on how the relationship between mobility and wages has changed from 1965-2013. A key element of this analysis is exploring how occupational mobility might moderate the impact of inter-firm mobility on wages. A second element of this analysis examines how educational attainment moderates the impact of inter-firm mobility on wages and how this may have changed over time, concurrent with rising wage returns to education. The second paper also examines the relationship between inter-firm mobility and wages and the extent to which occupational mobility and educational attainment might moderate this impact. The second paper takes a life course perspective, examining a single cohort of men and women from ages 18-55, over the years 1979-2012. This paper explores the extent to which the relationships between inter-firm mobility, occupational mobility, education and wages vary over the life course, as a function of the duration of time since the mobility event and between men and women. This paper also explores the extent to which gender differences are due to the behavior and treatment of individual women and men as well as opposed to their occupational location in the labor market. The third paper examines the extent to which mobility by women between occupations with different levels of female representation have changed over time since 1965. The paper explores transitions between 'male dominated,' 'female dominated' and 'integrated' occupations as well as transitions between occupations of any degree of gender representation to other occupations with a varying greater or lesser degrees of gender representation than the first. The paper uses 4 birth cohorts of women, with a range of birth years from 1923-1984, analyzing data from 1965-2013. The paper analyzes the extent to which the probability of the various transitions as well as the relationship between education level and the probability of specific transitions has changed over time. In addition, the paper explores the relationship between macro-economic conditions and the likelihood of these transitions.
