Abstract

This study analyzes the stability of the industrial wage structure using unpublished New Earnings Survey data. The analysis distinguishes between the impact of various workforce characteristics on wage structure and evaluates the stability of that structure using four different pay measures. Different pay measures reveal different degrees of flexibility but this is seldom enough to change the ranking of industries. The analysis reveals that the wage structure is more stable for women than men and that some industries are consistently high payers while others are consistently low payers. Further analysis of industry relative pay reveals this to be affected by changes in the proportions of women, blue collar and experienced workers employed in each industry.
