Documents the salary and promotional inequities between women and men in working class, academic, governmental, and professional (law, medicine, and scientific research) jobs. Calls for more affirmative action programs and argues that professional women will be able to fight for equal rights for all classes of working women. (GC)

Explores salary trends and changes in demand for various areas of specialization in speech communication, as they are reflected in the positions listed in the monthly "Bulletin of the Speech Communication Association Placement Service" from August 1966 through July 1978. (JMF)

Provides a seven-step process for creating a salary schedule that links administrator pay to the requirements and responsibilities of specific jobs. (Author/IRT)

Earnings inequality trends are sensitive to the earnings concept and sample of workers surveyed. Inequality increased for some groups of workers, but the combined effects of changes in demand, supply, and institutions did not generate higher wage inequality in the labor market as a whole. (JOW)

Analysis by decade of the effects of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 shows that women's earnings relative to men's increased by 10 cents from 1960-1990. Black and Hispanic women's earnings lagged further behind. More education and experience did not help women narrow the gap. (SK)

Uses data from the 1992 follow-up to the High School and Beyond longitudinal study to identify the percentage of the observed earnings premium attributable to a bachelor's degree, extent to which this percentage varies based on characteristics taken into account in the analyses (e.g., ability, job tenure and experience, industry, and occupation),…

Despite rapid structural change in Taiwan, the gender earnings ratio between 1978-82 remained at 65%. Women's relative gains in education and experience were apparently offset by an increase in wage discrimination. (SK)

A comparison of employment and earnings for young adults in 1979 and 1994 shows that young adults in 1994 were more likely than those in 1979 to be employed in lower-paying occupational groups. The 1994 group earned relatively less than young adults did in 1979. (JOW)

Presents results of the 2002 Human Resource Management Compensation Survey (n=1,084) indicating that salaries for training and development professionals increased only 1.8 percent over 2001. Tables depict salaries at various levels, by geographic area, and by industry. (JOW)

Compares the distribution of test scores at age 13 in 1964 and 1982 and wages later in life across 11 countries. Finds that wage dispersion later in life is never greater than test-score dispersion. For three countries (U.S., UK, and Japan), finds evidence of skill-biased changes in wage dispersion between the early 1970s and the late 1980s.…

Over the past 25 years, wages at public universities have not grown as quickly as at private universities. Looks for evidence that lower wage growth has been offset by increases in other nonpecuniary benefits, but finds no evidence that this is the case. Rather, high-paying institutions also offer high levels of benefits, though the relationship…

The female-male earnings gap narrowed significantly between 1979 and 1987, reflecting increases in earnings per hour, rather than in hours worked. (Author)

Explores the problem of a male/female salary differential for professors, discusses relevant factors explaining this disparity, and applies a model for detecting compensation bias to a sample of educational administration professors' salaries. Results indicate that a significant proportion of the salary variance is explained by gender. Includes 31…

A study of the impact of international competition on union and nonunion wages found that international competition was a significant determinant and that the net negative effect of a given import share of union and nonunion wages decreased sharply in absolute magnitude as the percentage of organized workers increased. (Author)

Because progress has been slow toward equality between men and women in the labor market, some have called for a comparable worth policy. A theoretical justification for this position is the crowding hypothesis. This paper explains the theory and presents a method to test its principal hypothesis. Author/JOW)
