Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed how job evaluation is conducted and used to set pay in selected nonfederal organizations in various states, including how job evaluation played a role in the comparable worth issue in several specific states and regions. GAO found that: (1) each job evaluation system had some unique features, but each system used a point-factor evaluation methodology which involved job analysis, job evaluation, and pay adjustment; (2) many areas' systems were priority systems where factors believed relevant to the organization were specified in advance of the evaluation process; (3) the evaluation system in use in one area was a policy-capturing system where factors were analytically developed as part of the evaluation process to replicate the organization's existing pay system; and (4) in systems where external salary competitiveness was a goal, the organization collected information through wage surveys to determine what other organizations were paying for similar levels of work.

Book Description
For decades women working as nurses, librarians, and secretaries have argued that they are paid less than men in jobs requiring comparable skill and effort. By the late 1980s, the notion of "comparable worth" had become a familiar one, and comparable worth initiatives were being developed to counteract the persistent disparities between male and female pay. In a comprehensive assessment of this policy, Elaine Sorensen lays out the various approaches states have taken, identifying the most and least successful among them. The author attributes part of the gender pay gap to economic discrimination and suggests theoretical models that best explain this discrimination. She examines the usefulness of comparable worth policies as a means of reducing male/female wage disparities. Minnesota's policies are examined in detail as an example of promising efforts in this regard. Sorensen ends by examining comparable worth's likely future fate in Congress and the courts. Elaine Sorensen is Senior Research Associate at the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
