Overview:
The pay gap is rising in the United States. Top earners are receiving higher salaries, while low-income earners have seen a drop in real wages. This course will look at the factors that have determined salary trends, including: unemployment rates, population growth, technology, labor unions, employment law, and offshore outsourcing. Then we’ll review how societal and governmental responses in Europe have led to more equitable salary levels but higher unemployment rates than are seen in the United States.
Learning Objectives:
- Define the difference between wage differentials, wage inequalities, and wage dispersion
- Describe the conditions under which more education leads to higher salaries
