Wage differences between community- & four-year Coll entrants are analyzed. First, mean differences between various groups in hourly wage rates & other background variables are described, including high school graduates, community Coll dropouts, community Coll graduates, four-year Coll dropouts, & four-year Coll graduates. Further, mean hourly wage differences are analyzed by sex, race, & type of first Coll entered. Next, utilizing regression analysis, wage differences are analyzed to see what affect is exerted by type of first Coll entered. It is concluded that community Coll entrance entails a wage penalty even when controlling for background variables, including years of schooling acquired. 3 Tables, 12 References.
