收入比职业更难全面和准确地衡量。详细的职业代码可以映射到标准的社会经济量表中，职业地位与其他变量的关系与重复或长期收入衡量的方式大致相同。出于这些原因，无论是否试图衡量收入，通过确定单亲或父母双方所从事的工作的职业(和行业)，可以改进对社会经济地位的衡量。在对经济地位进行分类时，收入和家庭构成比官方贫困线更可取，而住房保有权是衡量经济消费的简单而有力的指标。在任何可能的情况下，父亲教育和母亲教育都应该确定。无论他们被衡量得多么好，种族和社会经济地位并不能反映家庭背景的所有影响。
Income is more difficult to measure fully and accurately than occupation. Detailed occupational codes may be mapped into standard socioeconomic scales, and occupational status is related to other variables in much the same way as repeated or long-term measures of income. For these reasons, whether or not an attempt has been made to measure income, the measurement of socioeconomic status may be improved by ascertaining the occupation (and industry) of a job held by 1 or both parents. Income and household composition are preferable to the official poverty line in classifying economic standing, and housing tenure is a simple and powerful measure of economic consumption. Wherever possible, paternal as well as maternal education should be ascertained. However well they are measured, race-ethnicity and socioeconomic status do not capture all of the effects of family background.
