Within a multivariate framework this paper examines the relationship between high school curriculum and one important indicator of labor market success, hourly rate of pay subsequent to graduation. In view of our failure to find a statistically significant difference in starting wages for any curriculum group, for either whites or blacks, it appears that the vocational high school curriculum per se does not provide skills which lead to immediate market advantages.
