Structure of Wage Rates Among Black and White Career Women
Presented: New Orleans, LA, Southern Economics Association, 1975
Cohort(s): Mature Women

This study, drawn from the NLS of Mature Women 30-44, analyzes the impact of differences in human capital and labor market structure upon career women's wage rates and on the racial earnings gap. The results indicate that the determinants of interpersonal differences in wages are formal and informal investments in human capital. Other significant determinants are structural characteristics of occupations, industries, and labor markets which have an important role in explaining wage differentials. Evidence also shows that wage differentials are significant among black and white women. In order to narrow the earnings gap, differences in human capital endowments and market characteristics must be considered. In addition, programs should be designed to eliminate the clustering of black women in lower paying jobs.

The structure of wages of career women is examined by attempting to evaluate the differential impact in human capital and labor market structure upon the wage rates of career women and on the racial earnings gap within this group. The results support the following two hypotheses: (1) differences in human capital and in the distribution of labor market characteristics were shown to be basic determinants of interpersonal wage differences of career women; and (2) differences in racial endowments of human capital and labor market structure accounted for most of the observed wage differences among black and white career women.
