The study empirically analyses the impacts of education, experience, days of work per month and gender on wage earnings. The study makes use of primary data and a cross sectional analysis is done via Karl Pearson’s correlation and log level regression. Non-parametric tests like Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test are made use to test different hypotheses. The results of the study point to the positive impacts of education and experience on wage earnings and conclude the outweighing nature of experience than education on wage earnings.
