Labor market segmentation is the division of the labor market according to a principle such as occupation, geography and industry.. One type of segmentation is to define groups "with little or no crossover capability", such that members of one segment cannot easily join another segment. This can result in different segments, for example men and women, receiving different wages for the same work. Occupational Wage Differentials • Another primary factor that determines wages is the demand for the worker, which is a derived demand for the product or service that the worker provides. If the worker provides a product or service that is highly desirable, then a higher wage will prevail for a given supply of workers who could do that job.
The comparable worth issue has become heated in the s and is especially important to minorities and women. The debate, explored in this eighth chapter of a book on school law, concerns the causes of and cures for the earning gap between employed men and women.

The role of occupational segregation in the determination of gender wage differentials is assessed. It is found (1) that occupational segregation plays less of a role in explaining wage differentials than do traditional human capital variables; (2) that earnings profiles generated with data that include a percent female (PF) measure of occupational segregation are not ideal for testing human.
The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program produces employment and wage estimates annually for nearly occupations. These estimates are available for the nation as a whole, for individual states, and for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; national occupational estimates for specific industries are also available.
