Hispanic Bachelor's Degree Recipients in Connecticut: Effect of Major Field of Study on Expected Starting Salaries
Clifford, Maryanne T.; Brown, Jennifer L.; Free, Rhona C.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v10 n3 p183-199 Jul 2011
Hispanics' earnings remain below those of Whites, even after controlling for educational attainment. This article explores the effect of college major on estimated starting salaries of White and Hispanic bachelor's-degree recipients from Connecticut colleges and universities. Results indicate that while the earnings gap between Hispanic and White workers will decrease as bachelor's-degree attainment of Hispanics increases, differences in the distributions of students across college majors will mitigate that decrease. (Contains 4 figures, 3 tables, and 1 note.)
