As shown by Table 5, there was a positive association between educational attainment and clerical and admin occupational class, meaning that highly educated people were more likely to work in clerical and admin occupational class. However, a statistical interaction between educational level of college and above x Black suggested that the effect of college and above on clerical and admin occupational class was weaker for Black than White middle-age and older adults. No interaction was found for Latino ethnicity.
