The Ordering of Opportunity in Mid Nineteenth-Century Poughkeepsie. This important contribution to the literature on mobility in nineteenth-century America examines with a fine microscope the world of work in Poughkeepsie, New York. The careers of all workers in each occupation-the entire labor force in this city, with an 1870 population of 20,000 are traced over three decades.
