Abstract: | This paper updates studies done in the mid-1970s concerning the measurement of government wage differentials in the United
States. Based on an analysis of two large micro data sets, we reached the following conclusions. First, as a group, government
employees earned a small wage premium of approximately 2 to 3 percent during the 1970s and early 1980s. Second, the government
wage premium was substantially higher for federal employees and for women employees. These findings are consistent with earlier
studies.
