Intraoccupational Wage Differentials by Class of Workers: A Comparison of Wages in the Public and Private Sectors Presented: Chicago, IL, Midwest Economics Association Meeting, April 1974 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Midwest Economics Association Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Inflation; Private Sector; Public Sector; Wage Differentials; White Collar Jobs Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The data for this study are based on the surveys of Older Men (45-59) undertaken in 1966 and 1971 respectively. The author examines wage differentials between government and nongovernment within seven occupational groups. The results indicate that government wages are significantly greater than those in the private sector (1965-1970). The observed shift in public wage may be attributed to: political pay hikes, inflation, union pressures, lobbying efforts, and demand increases to attract adequate employees. |
