The Effect of Educational Differences and Labor-Market Discrimination on the Relative Earnings of Black Males

  • Stanley H. Masters

Abstract

Using both the 1967 Survey of Economic Opportunity and the 1/1,000 sample of the 1960 Census, we find that much more of the racial earnings gap should be attributed to labor-market discrimination than to differences in years of school. Although differences in scholastic attainment have more effect than differences in years of school per se, labor-market discrimination remains important even when productivity differences are measured primarily in terms of predicted test scores rather than years of school.
