Rising Wage Inequality: The 1980s Experience in Urban Labor Markets

Hyclak analyzes information not utilized in previous studies of wage inequality. Whereas researchers previously relied on data derived from the national labor market, Hyclak draws on data from the Area Wage Surveys (AWS), which allows him to focus on changes in the wage structure in a sample of 20 local labor markets for the period of 1974 to 1991. This source also allows him to examine changes in the structure of wages paid for some 40 different jobs found in four different occupational groups. In addition, Hyclak is able to concentrate on jobs and the skills required as the primary determinant of wages, an approach, he says, that complements the more traditional human capital wage model that emphasizes the personal characteristics of workers.https://research.upjohn.org/up_press/1062/thumbnail.jp

Accumulated Human Capital, Unemployment, And Subsequent Wages

The objective of this paper is to empirically examine the determinants of post-unemployment wages and to identify the underlying economic forces triggering the observed wage setting mechanisms. Specifically, the paper focuses on the impact of accumulated human capital on post-unemployment wages and investigates the following issues: (1) Is formal educational attainment a significant determinant of post-unemployment wages? (2) What type of previous labor market experience (general vs. job-specific) is more valued by a new employer? (3) Are workers who find a new job in the same sector, industry or occupation more likely to retain their specific human capital and, thus, earn higher post-unemployment wages? The 1994-2001 Polish Labor Force Surveys are used as the data source for this study

Wage Flexibility and Unemployment Dynamics in Regional Labor Markets

Hyclak and Johnes explore the extent to which wage rigidity differs across regional labor markets in the U.S. and how it affects the unemployment response to shifts in regional aggregate demand. They also look at the determinants of differences in wage rigidity across regional labor markets.https://research.upjohn.org/up_press/1090/thumbnail.jp

Ethnic Discrimination and Women's Wages in Milwaukee Laundries, 1911-12

The extent to which ethnic discrimination affected the employment opportunities of immigrants at the turn of the century is a topic of continuing interest to economic historians. While some studies find that immigrants did experience occupational crowding, the evidence regarding the general labor market impact of ethnic discrimination prior to World War I is mixed. This paper extends the analysis of the immigrant assimilation process in large city labor markets by an examination of the determinants of wage rates paid to native and foreign-born women working in Milwaukee power laundries in 1911-12. We find that ethnic identity was not an important wage determinant in this group of workers.Discrimination; Women
