Abstract

Sociologists have studied occupational stratification across racial groups and income stratification across religious groups for decades. However, incorporating the ways that race and religion intersect with one another to create new layers of stratification has never been done with occupations. I argue that it is essential for us to understand the complexities of stratification beyond painting racial groups with a broad brush, and shedding light on religious stratification within racial groups can help create a more nuanced picture of stratification in the United States.
