The gender pay-gap in the government sector was investigated in this paper using
the March 2006 Current Population Survey (CPS), Annual Social and Economic
Supplement (ASES). The data was analyzed using statistical techniques of a comparison
of group means using a 2-tailed t-test, an analysis of variance, ordinary least squares
(OLS) regression, and partitioning of variance. The main findings from this study are
that individual’s income increases with age, education, working in occupations with high
prestige, and working at the federal level. The findings also showed that women are
sorted into lower paying occupations and earn less income than men. It was concluded
that women are not financial equals to men at any level of the government: federal, state,
or local. / Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Sociology / "December 2006."
