- Tabulated numbers are changes in the (composition-adjusted) mean log wage for each group, using data on full-time, full-year workers ages 18 to 18 covering 1980 to 2019. These data are sorted into sex-education-experience groups of two sexes, four education categories (high school dropout, high school graduate, some college, college graduate, and post-college), and eight potential experience year groups (0–5, 5–10, 10–15, 15–20, 20–25, 25–30, 30–35, and 35–40 all measured in potential years of experience). Log hourly wages of full-time, full-year workers are regressed in each year separately by sex on dummy variables for four education categories, a quadratic in experience, three region dummies, black and other race dummies, and interactions of the experience quadratic with three broad education categories (high school graduate, some college, and college plus)
