Abstract
The disadvantaged position of the New Zealand Maori population has been highlighted in several studies. This paper investigates the interrelationships of ethnic origin, industry, and income using data from the New Zealand census. Several specific hypotheses are tested, and it is found that much of the difference between Maori and non-Maori income levels can be accounted for by the occupational segregation of the Maori workforce into certain industries. Controlling for industry, however, it is still found that ethnic origin accounts for a significant proportion of the variation in the census income data.
