PRB: Domestic Programs: The Center for Public Information on Population Research: "The odds of intermarriage between those people with less than 10 years of education and high school graduates have declined by 38 percent since the 1970s. Intermarriage between college graduates and those with 'some college' has also declined since the 1970s, but at a more gradual pace. However, Schwartz and Mare found that intermarriage between high school graduates and those people with 'some college' rose."

This article is pretty interesting because I think that it identifies a phenomenon of self-sorting that is a reflection of different processes around us in contemporary American society. I wonder whether the same trend shows for people's friends or social networks in general. Does it match the ways that geographic communities isolate groups from one another?

The above link is for the summary of the article. If you prefer, they also link to the full article (pdf) which I duplicate here. Also, here is the link from Broadsheet that sent me to this in the first place.
