The Math-Verbal Divide: Unequal Returns to Cognitive Skills in Education and Work https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp18542&r=&r=lab
"Verbal skills strongly predict educational attainmen while #mathematics skills generate substantially larger earnings returns.
… This divergence operates partly through field-of-study choice: individuals with stronger verbal skills disproportionately select into fields with higher graduation rates but lower earnings returns, while those with stronger mathematics skills enter #STEM and other high-paying majors.
… Gender differences in skills explain the female advantage in college attendance and part of the STEM gap but have little effect on the gender earnings gap due to offsetting effects across these pathways: women's verbal advantage facilitates educational access but also steers them toward lower-return fields."

Firm Pay, Amenities, and Inequality https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:nbr:nberwo:35149&r=&r=bec
"Non-wage attributes are an important driver of job choice: workers frequently choose lowerpaying offers. Amenity valuations are highly dispersed across firms and approximately orthogonal to wages, so amenities do not offset between-firm pay differences. In money-metric units, the signal variance of amenities is about one-third that of wage premia. Conditional on the wage, high-amenity firms tend to be larger, have lower quit rates, and are more favorably reviewed by employees. Amenity preferences vary across demographic groups. Men and women do not value the same firms equally: the correlation between their firm-specific valuations is 0.239. Women work at firms that pay less. They also work at firms that offer them higher amenity value. Using gender-specific valuations, women do not work at firms that offer them lower overall value. In some specifications, they work at firms that offer more."

#EliseGould from https://www.epi.org :

Today's jobs report came in stronger than expected as payrolls increased by 115,000 in April. As a result, average monthly growth the last three months was 48,000 jobs. The unemployment rate held steady as both labor force participation & the employment level dropped slightly.

Since ...Trump took office, the manufacturing sector has lost 77,000 jobs.

Nominal wage growth continued to slow....
