ABSTRACT: We define four sectors of labor markets according to workers’ power in the employment relationship and the extent to which wage determination is sensitive to the supply and demand of labor. Using data from the Outgoing Rotation Groups of the Current Population Surveys from 1983 to 2005, we decompose the growth of wage inequality into compositional changes, group-specific mean changes, and group-specific variance changes. Our theoretical concern is to assess the relative significance of organizational power versus skill-biased technological change as contrasting explanations of rising inequality.
MPC Seminars are held in 50 Willey Hall on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota Minneapolis Campus.
