Occupational segregation in select TDL occupations

"Occupational segregation" is the term used to describe when a demographic group is overrepresented in a particular type of work. This chart shows the percentage of Black or Latinx workers, women workers, and foreign-born workers in selected TDL occupations. It shows that Black or Latinx workers make up 61 percent of all employed workers ages 16-64 in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, but in every TDL sector occupation that we looked at, they are overrepresented. On the other hand, women are overrepresented in packer and packager jobs but underrepresented in every other occupation we examined. Women are drastically underrepresented in industrial truck and tractor (forklift and yard truck) operator jobs and truck driver jobs.
