Article Abstract:
Research on the impact race and gender in academic job market recruiting suggests that European-American women and minority men and women continue to confront significant discrimination in academic labor markets. A study investigated a sample of recruits in the field of sociology in 1991-1992 to determine whether European-America women, minority women or minority men were hired in positions significantly different from those taken by European-American men, whether advantaged or disadvantaged. Results are discussed.

Article Abstract:
A study was conducted using data acquired from a 1974 follow-up study of men who were employed in 1964. Data on women workers were obtained from questionnaires given to the wives of the men in the follow-up. Gender was found to greatly affect the organization and supervision of work. Women's social status apart from ability and experience was found to greatly affect their supervision. Men were found to be supervised strictly according to their ability.

Article Abstract:
Female Mexican American (Chicana) white collar workers at a major university were studied to determine the effect of gender and race-ethnicity on task performance. It was found that tasks, harassment and discrimination in the workplace reinforce the accomplishment of gender. This is also found to reinforce occupational segregation. Both factors were found to fit in with the continuance of the performance of traditional roles in the home.
