dc.description.abstractThe value of job training and credentials for improving one's socioeconomic status is widely recognized. However, despite having these advantages, women and people of color still experience income inequality and the social burdens that come with it (England et al. 2020). While research has focused on human capital and individual choice, studies have shown that firm structure can significantly impact the economic returns of labor. Recently, researchers interested in the unexplained causes of the gender wage gap found evidence of structural roots of gender devaluation (Brick, Schneider, and Harknett 2023; Rotman and Mandel 2023). According to a study by Rubin and Reid (2003), the impact of the economic sector on labor market returns was found to be significant. Still, this theory has fallen out of favor in recent years, with most research focusing on human capital and labor market dualism. Based on the 2018 Current Population Survey data, my investigation supports Rubin and Reid’s findings. It is evident that factors beyond the labor market, such as the economic sector, influence income returns. Further research could entail policy evaluation considering industry segmentation.
