Sociological explanations of wage inequality have given increasing attention to resources of industries as wage determinants. The variation in the effects of individual & industrial characteristics (eg, differences in age, race, & occupation) on wage rates is explored. Data are taken from the National Longitudinal Studies of the Labor Market Experiences of Women, in which groups of younger & older women (N = 2,072 & 2,054, respectively) were interviewed periodically over a 12-year interval. Considerable variation in the effects of industrial & worker resources on women's wage rates is evident. It appears, however, that both types of resources must be examined to avoid misspecification of wage determination models.
