Compensation & Benefits Review Announces Best Article for 2019
2019 was my first full year as Editor-in-Chief for Compensation & Benefits Review (CBR). To say the least, thanks to CBR's stellar advisory board and editorial board, we had a great year. To celebrate, we wanted to honor our best contributors. Based on number of downloads and number of times cited by other peer-reviewed publications, Xueqing Fan & Micheal Sturman's article: Has Higher Education Solved the Problem? Examining the Gender Wage Gap of Recent College Graduates Entering the Workplace won CBR's best article award for 2019.
An excerpt from their abstract:
Education is a major determinant of wage, and women are often outpacing men now in terms of educational achievement. Thus, the question remains of whether these gains in education have reduced... gender wage inequality... Despite the hope that greater representation of women with higher degrees would reduce or eliminate the gender wage gap for new entrants to the labor market, our results show that newly graduated men with an associate, bachelor’s, or master’s degree still earn significantly higher wages than newly graduated women with a same degree.
It looks like we still have some work to do. Let's get researching!
