Social Status Ranking of Occupations in the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and the United States.

Fredrickson, Ronald H.; And Others

Career Development Quarterly, v40 n4 p351-60 Jun 1992

College students (n=1,039) in the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and the United States ranked 24 occupations according to social status. There was more agreement than disagreement in the rankings, although exceptions were noted and explained by local conditions. Two occupations consistently ranked in highest group were physician and lawyer, with civil engineer close behind. (Author/ABL)
