Evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience for Youth indicates a vintage effect that is. lower black-white earnings ratios for older cohorts relative to younger cohorts. However, an examination of longitudinal earnings ratios suggests such an effect can be attributed to intra-cohort deterioration of black earnings over the life cycle rather than to inter-cohort differences in school quality. Regression results indicate that the role of education in influencing continued wage growth on-the-job differs by race. More educated white males hold occupations with steeper experience-earnings profiles. The same can be said of blacks only at a lower level of statistical confidence.
