Occupational Representativeness and Prestige Rating: Some Observations.
Parker, Harry J.; And Others
Journal of Employment Counseling, v26 n3 p117-31 Sep 1989
College students (N=319) rated 100 occupations on Occupational Standing Scale. Comparison with prior sample and predicted prestige scores for 1950 census job titles revealed that college sample was similar in prestige ratings regardless of gender or ethnicity. Composition of occupational listings did not appear to affect ratings. (Author/NB)
