本文研究了1989年至2003年黑人与白人和拉丁裔与白人之间妇女工资不平等的趋势。基于Bound和梳妆台的结论，即黑人和白人的收入差距在20世纪80年代扩大，作者发现，在20世纪90年代和世纪初，黑人和白人的收入差距保持相当稳定，教育在拉丁美洲和白人的收入差距中起着关键作用。每年，拉丁裔妇女与白人的工资差距都大于黑人妇女;然而，在控制教育和经验方面，黑人妇女与白色妇女相比，收入处于最不利的地位。虽然拉丁美洲人和白人的收入差距在1989年保持平等，但在20世纪90年代和进入21世纪世纪，工资差距出现并稳步扩大。这一趋势并不是受教育程度不高的拉美人涌入劳动力市场的结果;相对工资的最大缺口出现在拥有大学学位的拉美人中。
This article examines trends in Black-White and Latina-White wage inequality among women from 1989 to 2003. Building on Bound and Dresser’s conclusion that the Black-White earnings gap widened in the 1980s, the authors find that in the 1990s and early 21st century, the Black-White earnings differential remained fairly constant and that education plays a pivotal role in the Latina-White earnings gap. In every year, Latinas show larger wage differences with Whites than Black women; however, when controlling education and experience, Black women see the greatest earnings disadvantage in comparison to White women. Although the Latina-White earnings differential stood at parity in 1989, a wage gap opened and steadily increased through the 1990s and into the 21st century. This trend was not the result of an influx of Latinas with few years of schooling entering the labor force; the largest opening in relative wages occurred among Latinas with a college degree.
