Progress toward Pay Equity in State Governments?
利用1980至2015年美国人口普查数据，研究州政府在消除种族和性别薪酬差异方面的进展，发现州政府比私营企业在缩小薪酬差距上做得更好。
Abstract Are state governments fulfilling their responsibilities to be model employers of women and minorities? Using U.S. Census Bureau data on individual employees from 1980 to 2015, this article looks at how much progress state governments have made toward eliminating racial and gender pay differences. It examines whether differences in education, age/experience, citizenship, English ability, hours worked, and occupation explain the pay differences. Patterns and explanations vary substantially by group, but state governments are doing a better job than private firms of closing pay gaps on almost every measure .
