| Tiivistelmä: | The gender wage gap in the US decreased notably in the 1980s and in the 1990s, but more slowly in the latter decade. This article examines the effect of the shift in employment away from manufacturing to services due to deindustrialization to the US gender wage gap between 1990 and 2001. Based on data from US Current Population Survey, the results indicate that the slowdown in the change of gender wage gap was produced by the service sector where the gender wage gap widened in the 1990s. This widening was influenced by two occupational elements within the service sector: women's entry into traditionally male occupations characterized by high wages, and high gender wage differentials that resulted in the relative increase in men's wages compared to women's wages in these positions. |
