Ranking the Factors that Affect Occupational Outcomes

By using Theil's entropy measure, which is an additively decomposable measure of inequality, one may rank the various factors that affect occupational outcomes. Using the 5 percent sample of the 1990 U.S. Census, I find that sex and education have the greatest impact on occupational outcomes, followed by full-time work status. Age, race, and ever-married status have little impact on occupational outcomes
