male female supply to state government jobs and Comparable Worth
Staff General Research Papers Archive, 1998Co-Authors: Peter F. Orazem, Peter J MattilaAbstract:The proportion of women in state government Jobs and applicant pools is well explained by a model emphasizing supply-side factors. Relative to men, women's supply is least sensitive to wages in predominantly male jobs and most sensitive to wages in predominantly female jobs. These results suggest that Comparable Worth policies that shift relative pay toward traditionally female jobs and away from traditionally male jobs will increase the proportion of females in male-dominated, female-dominated, and total state government jobs. The implication is that supply side responses need not prevent Comparable Worth adjustments from raising total female compensation.

economic implications of public sector Comparable Worth the case of san jose california
Industrial Relations, 1992Co-Authors: Shulamit KahnAbstract:This study evaluates the wage and employment effects of Comparable Worth in San Jose, California, one of the first cities in the United States to implement Comparable Worth wage adjustments. The empirical evidence indicates that, contrary to the predictions of many economists, females posted large employment gains in jobs targeted by Comparable Worth adjustments. Male employment in these jobs was stagnant. The increasing percentage female in the targeted jobs is attributable to the combined effects of Comparable Worth and pro-female hiring policies. No overall decrease in employment appears to have occurred in the city of San Jose, nor is there any indication of substitution from targeted to nontargeted jobs.

The effects of Comparable Worth in the public sector on public/private occupational relative wages
Journal of Human Resources, 1993Co-Authors: Greg HundleyAbstract:If, as appears likely, Comparable Worth programs are confined to the public sector, the level of public/private relative pay may change, and the structure of public/private relative wages within occupations will almost certainly change. The nature of these changes will determine the degree to which public wages conform more or less closely to the prevailing wage standard which requires that wages for public jobs be equivalent to wages for similar private-sector jobs. Thus, there will be implications for economic efficiency. This study analyzes alternative scenarios involving Comparable Worth in the state and local government (SLG) sector. The results suggest that when Comparable Worth is implemented through special wage increases, public-sector wages are moved further from compliance with the prevailing wage standard. This is because public wages are, on average, already on a par with private-sector wages. However, Comparable Worth tends to provide larger wage increases to those occupations where public/private wages are relatively low. And, when the payroll budget under Comparable Worth is fixed at the same size as the payroll budget before Comparable Worth, public wages could be moved closer to compliance with the prevailing wage norm.
