The structure of wages of career women is examined by attempting to evaluate the differential impact in human capital and labor market structure upon the wage rates of career women and on the racial earnings gap within this group. The results support the following two hypotheses: (1) differences in human capital and in the distribution of labor market characteristics were shown to be basic determinants of interpersonal wage differences of career women; and (2) differences in racial endowments of human capital and labor market structure accounted for most of the observed wage differences among black and white career women.
