Earnings Differentials Among Unionized Workers in the Public & Private Sectors Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1976 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Private Sector; Public Sector; Racial Differences; Simultaneity; Unions; Wages Using data from the 1971 NLS of Older Men, this study simultaneously examines wage differentials in unionized and non-unionized employment in both the public and private sectors. Within a human capital framework, separate differentials are estimated for both white-collar and blue-collar workers, and for whites and blacks. The data indicate that public sector unions have not been successful in raising the earnings of white-collar workers within government, ceteris paribus, but that they have raised the earnings of blue-collar workers. However, comparison of union wage effects in the public sector with those in the private sector indicates that public sector union wage effects are generally comparable to or smaller than union wage effects in the private sector. |
