Generalizations regarding the effects of experience, education, marital status, occupational characteristics, and industrial sector on earnings are analyzed using data from the National Longitudinal Survey (1966-81). Regression decomposition to ascertain factors that explain the gender and/or racial (black/white) gap in earnings is used. Results reveal a number of complex race/gender interactions affecting income inequality. Education affects the racial gap but not the gender gap
