Using National Longitudinal Survey data, the influence of personal characteristics, occupational choice, and discrimination on the occupational attainment of young men was investigated. Two findings were reached: First, correcting for self-selection increases importance of occupational distribution in explaining racial wage differentials; and second differential access to high-paying occupations contributes substantially to wage differences. |
