The author examines certain aspects of racial convergence in labor force behavior and projects implications for the future. The labor force participation of white women has increased significantly, particularly for women of childbearing age. However, black women demonstrate a declining pattern of participation (except young married blacks). Most blacks who drop out of the labor force are those who have limited education and earn relatively low wages. It is probable that the labor force participation of white and black women will approach equality in the future as their education becomes similar and the participation of white women continues to increase.
