abstract: 'While there has been much research on the influence of educational
attainment on occupational status and earnings, relatively little is
known about its impact on other qualities of work, such as job
complexity. This article explores how educational credentials affect
access to jobs that provide challenging work. To do so it uses
longitudinal data on black, Hispanic, and white men and women who
attended the City University of New York after it initiated its landmark
open-admissions policy in 1970. That program was designed to boost
educational attainments among disadvantaged minority students and to
enhance opportunities for desirable jobs. Analyses reveal that overall
the jobs held by these minorities involved less complex work than those
held by whites. These inequalities are explained partly by disparities
in educational attainment, but differences in employment sector also are
important: the minorities were more often in the public sector, where
work was generally less challenging. Gender differences in work
complexity are related to the varying distribution of sex-typed jobs in
the public and private sectors. Policies such as open admissions add to
opportunity in the labor market, but effects are limited by wider
institutional conditions.'
