12. Table 12-7. Kerbo's Summary of Major Points on Mobility (Based on pp
Occupational inheritance in the U.S. is fairly high at the top (upper non-manual) and the bottom (lower manual)
We have very limited data on upper class mobility, but there obviously is some sponsored mobility
Mobility seems to have been pretty stable from 1910 to 1973, especially clear for , but may be declining since the 1980s
Mobility patterns for white women and black men are very different and very different from white men
Women seem to inherit father’s occupation through husband and tend to be more mobile than men, through marriage
