Compares pre-CETA and post-CETA earnings and income for racial and sexual categories, controlling for age and education. It was found that White gains exceed those for Blacks but that the White income distribution appears to converge with that of Blacks after CETA. (CT)

Examined variables related to sexual discrimination on-the-job for a sample of social workers (N=128) in North Carolina. Findings indicated that gender was a better predictor of salary than either job position, experience, or education. When these three variables were controlled, males were found to earn an average of $5,645 more per year than…

This article examines some unpublished survey data which document the magnitude of earnings differences between men and women in the Soviet Union. Factors contributing to these differences are discussed. (Author/EB)

In the last 20 years, an increase in the number of working women has been accompanied by changes in the female labor force and in the concentration of women in particular occupations and industries. These changes have a profound effect upon women's earnings. The Current Population Survey (CPS) shows a wide disparity in the median earnings of women…

This paper reviews some of the past literature on male-female wage differentials in order to determine the early hypotheses which are the historical roots of the current theoretical and empirical work analyzing male-female wage differentials. Part 1 reviews the discrimination hypotheses, which emphasize differences in the labor market conditions…

Reviews data on the labor market experience of Mexican female temporary migrants in the United States. Analyzes data from a Mexican national survey and compares the role of schooling, work experience, region of origin,and legal status in male and female migrants' working experiences. (KH)

The different preferences for occupational roles and college majors of the recent college graduates in this study account for one-third to two-thirds of the gender differences in earnings three years after graduation. The implications for estimating labor market discrimination are discussed. (SK)

The AAUP, in publishing salary and compensation averages each year for individual institutions and for categories of institutions, should alert readers to the shortcomings of the data for various purposes, and especially for comparisons between institutions and between categories of institutions and sexes on a nationwide basis.

Uses data from the 1986 Canadian labor market activity survey file to derive estimates of residual gender wage gap differences. Investigates these estimates' dependence on experimental design and on assumptions about discrimination-free wage structures. Residual differences persist, even after restricting the sample to a group of highly motivated,…

Observed sex differences in job satisfaction were hypothesized to actually be due to variables which covary with sex. State employees provided data. Significant differences in satisfaction "washed out" when effects such as age, education, and tenure, were controlled; but the hypothesis was only partially supported. (Author/SJL)

An outline of the membership of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education profiles the average member, his/her job title and responsibilities, career preparation, professional development opportunities, status within the institution, institution type, salaries, and sex and qualification discrimination in compensation. Compensation…

A survey of National Association of Social Workers revealed that female social workers continue to earn less than their male colleagues. Offered evidence that discriminatory personnel practices may be preventing many female practitioners from acquiring the skills necessary to qualify them for top management positions in the profession.

Analysis of a 1% sample of performance appraisals of federal employees of comparable education and experience (1990-95) found that women, especially whites, received higher ratings than white men at the same level. Minorities were more likely to receive a "fully successful" rating and less likely to receive an "outstanding" rating. (SK)

Data from the National Organizations Study corroborated prior research showing strong negative effects on earnings in female-dominated occupations. Neither government regulation, firm size, nor formalized job policies and structures mediated this earnings penalty. (SK)

The use of stagewise regression was investigated in a university study of salary equity for full-time staff-exempt personnel. The commonly used method of regression substitution was modified in three ways: (1) shifting the emphasis away from estimating inequity and toward describing the impact of men's and women's population differences on…
