Abstract
This study examines the effect of one aspect of work experience quality on the natural logarithm of hourly earnings for male household heads working full-time. This aspect is the percentage of the total number of years of work experience that is full-time as opposed to part-time. It is found that this effect is positive and statistically significant at the 95% confidence level for individuals working in “high atrophy” full-time jobs. It is positive but smaller, and not statistically significant at this confidence level for individuals working in “low atrophy” full-time jobs. An improved understanding emerges of why earnings are distributed the way they are.
