Note: Table figures represent mobility contrast estimates from loglinear Mobility Contrast Models. AIC: Akaike information criterion. Deviance and AIC statistics are compared with an intercept-only model. OCG-1: Occupational Changes in a Generation Study in 1962. GSS: General Social Survey. For OCG-1, <HS: none or elementary; HS: 1–4 years’ high school; Col: some college or more. For GSS, <HS: less than high school; HS: high school graduate; Col: college graduate. LM: lower manual; UM: upper manual; LWC: lower white-collar; UWC: upper white-collar.
