This paper uses data from the National Adult Literacy Survey to examine the relationship between schooling and earnings. Basic skills are partitioned between those acquired through schooling and those acquired elsewhere. The study finds that, for the most part, it is the substance of learning in school - the accumulated human capital - that counts. Further, the strength of the human capital explanation versus the credential explanation of returns to schooling varies by race. A large disparity is found between whites and blacks in the way annual earnings respond to basic skills acquired through schooling. Crown Copyright (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
