Cognitive Skill and Economic Inequality: Findings from the National Adult Literacy Survey.
Raudenbush, Stephen W.; Kasim, Rafa M.
Harvard Educational Review, v68 n1 p33-79 Spr 1998
Findings of an analysis of National Adult Literacy Survey data do not entirely support differences in cognitive skills as explanations for minorities' lower earnings and employment, nor occupational preferences as explanations for women's lower earnings and employment. Labor market discrimination and residential segregation also play a substantial role. (SK)
