The Redistribution of the Black Work Force in the South by Industry.
Rhee, Jong Mo
The exodus of blacks from the south is connected to their abandonment of farming as a way of life. Since 1860 there has been a gradual move by the black population out of the rural south to the urban north from which stems a remarkable shift of the black labor force into industry. The black population from 1940 to 1970 has progressed from industry-related careers, to careers in the professions, service-related careers, and public administration. (Various tables show the percent distribution, employment distribution, and changes in employed persons, aged 14 or over, by sex, race, and industry from 1940 to 1970. Included is a six-item bibliography.) (BP)
