Convergence to Racial Equality in Women's Wages In: Women in the Labor Market. C.B. Lloyd, et al., eds.

Several potential reasons for the marked and persistent rise in the relative wage of black women are explored. Findings show that the central reason for the gain is that blacks and whites are becoming more alike in those characteristics known to produce higher wages, particularly education. Other explanations are the rapid rise in blacks' wages in the South and blacks' shift away from part-time employment. Newer cohorts are shown to enjoy greater wage improvement: vintage effects appear to be the dominant reason for the improved economic position of all black women. |
