劳务外包在20世纪80年代和90年代大幅增长，与较低的工资、较少的福利和较低的工会率相关。作者专注于两个职业，可以使用行业和职业代码来识别这20年的外包：看门人和警卫。在广泛的规格中，)发现，对于看门人来说，外包工资惩罚从4%到7%不等，对于警卫来说，从8%到24%不等。他们在健康福利方面的发现与工资方面的发现是一致的。有证据表明，外包处罚并非如此。由于为更高的福利或更低的工作时间、技能差异或外包类型的017行业补偿差异。相反，外包似乎降低了劳动力市场对工人的租金，特别是对那些处于职业工资分布上半部分的工人。历史上工资溢价较高的行业更有可能将服务工作外包。
Outsourcing of labor services grew substantially during the 1980s and 1990s and Was associated With lower wages, fewer benefits, and lower rates of unionization. The authors focus on two occupations for Which the), can identify outsourcing in those two decades using industry and occupation codes: janitors and guards. Across a wide array of specifications, the), find that the Outsourcing Wage penalty ranged from 4% to 7% for janitors and from 8% to 24% for guards. Their findings on health benefits mirror those on Wages. Evidence suggests that the outsourcing penalty Was not. due to compensating differentials for higher benefits or lower hours, skill differences, or the types 017 industries that outsourced. Rather, outsourcing seems to have reduced labor market rents for workers, especially for those in the upper half of the occupational Wage distribution. Industries With higher historical Wage premia Were more likely to outsource service work.
