Abstract

Using data from the 2000 Census, I tested the hypothesis that cohabiting lesbians have statistically different earnings from cohabiting and married heterosexual women. Cohabiting lesbians earn more than their heterosexual counterparts, even when differences in child‐rearing status are considered. Furthermore, the results do not support differences in household specialization as an explanation for the lesbian earnings premium.
