abstract: 'Over one million Americans aged 15 years and older are deaf or hard of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hearing. These individuals may face barriers to and within the labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market, leading to lower employment rates and reduced earnings compared
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with their counterparts without a hearing disability. Our study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributes to the sparse literature on the relationship between hearing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disability and labor market outcomes by examining hearing earnings gaps,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
namely, earnings gaps between individuals who are deaf or hard of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hearing and their counterparts without a hearing disability. Using a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sample of 25- to 40-year-old full-time year-round workers from the 2011
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
American Community Survey, we estimate separate earnings equations by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hearing ability and gender using generalized estimating equations. For
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
both men and women, Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions indicate that roughly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
40\% of the overall hearing earnings gap is attributable to differences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in educational attainment, potential experience, race/ethnicity, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
marital status. The remaining 60\% may reflect differences in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
communication skills and other unobservable characteristics,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupational segregation, labor market discrimination, and stigma.'
