| Abstract: | The main question in this paper is: Do wages of low-skilled workers in Norwegian local governments adjust to clear the labour market for such workers , or are the wages affected by trade unions comparing their wages with other wages inside the local governments? The main empirical findings are as follows: First, wages of low-skilled local government employees respond not to wages in the external labour market, but to wages in higher skilled and higher paid workers inside the local government. |
