| Abstract | This study compares the wage rates for Canadian-born workers in the private sector to workers in the public sector. Utilizing 2006 Census of Canada data, I find that wage gaps for minority men in comparison to Caucasian men are generally smaller in the public sector. In contrast, I did not find statistically significant wage gaps between minority women and Caucasian women in either sector. Gender-wage gaps are substantial in both sectors but smaller in the public sector. Overall the public sector has a wage advantage when compared to the private sector, and the advantage is greater for some male minority groups and for Caucasian women than it is for Caucasian men. This suggests that some of the overall wage advantage of the public sector may be due to greater wage equity for its workers. |
