Results from the Holland occupational classification and Markov chain analysis used for describing and predicting career patterns show that a narrow range of occupational experience was most prevalent among younger men; however, for black men, the narrow range persisted in the older group. Compared to the other groups, white men held jobs in a wider variety of occupational categories in which case they tended to be more stable in their initial occupational categories.
