This report presents 1981 annual average data on the number of men and women working full time in each occupation and on their usual weekly earnings. Results indicate that occupations in which women workers dominate tend to rank lower in terms of earnings; men dominate higher paid occupations. (Author/CT)

Recent years of inflation and recession held real earnings of wage and salary workers below 1973 levels; the pay gap between Black and White full-time employees narrowed after 1967, but the wide earnings disparity by sex remains. (Author)

In a study of data concerning distribution of earned income among men and women from 1958 to 1977, it appears that the trend toward greater inequality among men continued but slowed in recent years. The more unequal distribution for women remained stable, probably reflecting limited advances. (CT)

Results of a census-sample study (model appended) of earnings differentials between men and women in three types of employment (government, private, and self-employment) indicate a need for policies to: (1) alter practices of financial institutions and suppliers toward self-employed women and (2) insure job-advancement for others. (Author/AJ)

Discusses reasons for the differences in earnings between men and women: (1) differences in the labor market characteristics between men and women, (2) differences in the distribution of men and women among different jobs, and (3) discrimination in the labor market. (JOW)

The 1970 census confirms that skill, sex, and age are likely to determine the worker's position on the pay ladder. (Author)

Reports results of an approach using a multiple regression model to determine factors leading to larger male earnings and identifying potential discrimination with these factors, which included differences in the return to investment in human capital, rate of employment, type of employer, and return to experience.

A recent national survey suggests that women and Blacks receive less on-the-job training and training opportunities in their jobs than White males. This is especially true of young Black men. The factor of low wage does not seem to play a large part in this discrepancy. (CT)

This discussion on the lack of data concerning comparable worth concludes that efforts to design data collecting systems or even to tabulate and amass those data that already exist lag behind efforts to litigate and legislate comparable worth. The author discusses possible future scenarios on this subject. (CT)
