Pay Differentials by Class of Worker: A Comparison of Hourly Earnings in the Public and Private Sectors Working Paper, Department of Economics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, 1975 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Department of Economics, The Ohio State University Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Occupations; Private Sector; Public Sector; Unions; Wage Differentials; Wages; White Collar Jobs Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the NLS of Older Men, this paper examines wage differentials by class of worker, occupational group, and race for 1966 and 1971. These differentials vary both across groups and over time. Making use of data on unionization from the 1971 survey, the study compares union wage effects in the public sector to those in the private sector. In general, it appears that the union wage effect in the public sector is comparable to or somewhat smaller than that in the private sector. Implications are drawn for public policy regarding unionization and strikes in the public sector. |
