PPT-Occupational and Wage Inequality in the U.S. Labor Market

Sam Levitus and Professor David Schaffer Department of Economics University of WisconsinEau Claire Background and Overview of Research   There has been much attention given to income inequality within the US labor market especially recently From the huge amount of discussion and debate about wage inequality from both the political left and the right two salient points emerge that the US labor market shows a far more unequal distribution of wages than the labor markets of other developed countries and that the overall US wage structure has become dramatically more unequal over the past several decades We were illequipped to investigate the first claim but sought to thoroughly analyze the second paying particular attention to the components of wage inequalityand their relative importancein recent years To accomplish this we performed several statistical analyses on survey data from the US Census Bureau we did not use any data from other countries for either analysis or comparison Our results do indeed confirm the second claim by every single measurement we used wages are far more unequal today than they were in the past In particular the top few percentiles have made large gains over the past forty years while most other workers wages have been nearly stagnant.
