In our preferred specification, we also include occupational, industry, and firm size dummies.
Using the Social Security records and controlling for job tenure, occupational industry and other covariates, the results confirm that permanent workers subject to collective dismissals suffer higher and more permanent wage cuts than those with temporary contracts.
To evaluate occupational industry, the job descriptors were coded according to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).
Accurate occupational, industry and training information is vital in assessing HRH, starting with the most basic of indicators on size and composition of the health workforce.
We then forced each occupational exposure (i.e. occupations, industries, and exposure to specific or group of agents) into the 'base' model to estimate the adjusted OR.
The authors describe several likely causes: differing amounts of experience (an explanation for 10% of the gap); occupational and industry differences (women are more likely to be in lower-paying service jobs) and simple discrimination (although this is hard to quantify).So why did the gender pay gap narrow in the 1980s and 1990s?
Career Academies are high schools organized around an occupational or industry focus, such as health care, finance, and tourism.
Finally, Farooq and Kugler (2013) find that public insurance programs increase labor mobility by increasing occupational and industry mobility but also mobility into self-employment and wage employment.
Further, the Career Academies include activities that should improve non-academic skills; for example, having students learn together as a cohort and sharing mutual interests in an occupational or industry field improves their ability to work in a team.
The researchers utilized occupational and industry information from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles DOTT) and the Current Population Survey (CPS), which distinguish between the task input per job (units of work) and the type of skills (worker capability) required to operationalize the tasks.
