Callaway, Rick; And Others

Research in Higher Education, v37 n5 p599-614 Oct 1996

A study of employment patterns and starting salary gaps among male and female business graduates during the 1980s found that while both employment conditions and earnings improved for women, the gender gap in starting salaries increased during the decade. Of college-acquired student characteristics, only academic achievement persisted as a significant influence throughout the decade. (Author/MSE)
