Abstract	This study examines the hypothesis that the labor supply for "lower level" occupations will be significantly reduced as a result of such trends as occupational upgrading of black workers, increased education, and the prospective reduction in number of new entrants to the labor force. Chapter I reviews a number of theoretical and empirical criteria for ranking of occupations and describes the methods followed in arriving at a status grouping of occupations for the present study. Chapter II includes a broad historical review of the earlier sources of manpower for lower level jobs, identifying the successive contributions of black workers, immigrants, farm-to-city migrants, and of other disadvantaged categories, in relation to the changing occupational needs of the economy. Chapter III presents the results of a detailed analysis of 1960-70 trends in occupational labor supply, by such characteristics as age, sex, race, educational level, and nativity. A technical appendix to this chapter describes the procedures followed in adjustment of 1960-70 Census occupational statistics for the trend analysis. And Chapter IV analyzes the relationship between labor supply and relative wages in lower-level occupations, based on examination of aggregate 1960-70 trends and on a cross-sectional analysis of inter-area wage differences based on 1970 Census data.
