Are minorities fairly represented in U.S. municipal governments as demography changes? This article attempts to explore minority representation in the municipal governments of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston for the years 1990-2000 through an examination of the distribution of minorities. Findings indicate that rapid demographic changes in the four largest U.S. cities have not remarkably changed representation of minorities and nonminorities in those municipal governments. Demographic changes do affect the composition of the city work forces, but demographic changes do not seem to affect considerably the composition of the city work forces. Although minorities and nonminorities appear to be gaining more representation, the extent of the increase of representation has been much higher in Caucasians than minorities. Occupational and agency segregation as well as salary differences between minorities and nonminorities and between men and women has not been significantly reduced. |
