Abstract
This article provides an analysis of intragenerational and intergenerational changes in socio-economic status, as indicated by occupational shifts, in the Welsh ethno-linguistic community in Bangor, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, during the early twentieth century. The study provides a clearer picture than the images promulgated by contemporary Welsh leaders who strove to emphasise the industry and upward mobility of their fellow countrymen. In addition, the article considers the role of occupational concentration in culture maintenance along with other factors such as residential propinquity, language, religious and cultural activities, and exogamy.
