| Abstract: | The theory of compensating differentials suggests that workers with flexible schedules earn less than other workers. Concentration of women in jobs with flexible hours explains a significant part of the gender pay gap. This paper uses data from the US subset of the Comparative Project in Class Analysis. According to the data women workers do not have more flexible schedules than men and black workers have much more rigid schedules than white workers. The workers with more authority usually have more flexibility. The data show that any compensating differentials for flexible hours are small and are offset by returns to workplace authority. |
