Gender-Related Shifts in the Distribution of Wages.

Ryscavage, Paul

Monthly Labor Review, v117 n7 p3-15 Jul 1994

The nation's wage distribution grew more unequal during the 1980s, with the top and bottom becoming more concentrated at the expense of the middle. The middle of the distribution thinned out, especially for men; for women, the middle "filled in" with only a small increase in the bottom of the distribution. (JOW)
