Abstract

The article presents a study of the impact of the Public Employment Program (PEP) on the wage differential between male and female workers in the United States. The study evaluates the use of the PEP to alleviate wage inequality between men and women. Evidence is presented to show that wage differentials can be explained by segmentation of male and female workers in different occupations. The article discusses the potential for programs like the PEP to alleviate wage differentials between male and female workers in the United States.
