The author investigates the relationship between employment patterns and occupational advancement. Because women have less extensive and continuous employment, they invest less in human capital, have fewer opportunities for job mobility and gain fewer occupational rewards over their work lives. A small but statistically significant effect of employment experience on occupational status was found for white women, but not for non-whites.
