abstract: 'Alternative labour market outcomes for men and women have been studied

  extensively in past literature. However, existing studies fail to

  directly compare labour market differences between transgender and

  non-transgender people. We utilize data from the 2015 Behavioral Risk

  Factor Surveillance System in the United States to examine employment

  and wage differentials between transgender persons and non-transgender

  people using the Fairlie decomposition method of 2005. Our findings

  suggest that transgender people are less likely than non-transgender

  people to be employed, and are more likely than non-transgender people

  to receive lower wages. While some of the difference in employment and

  wage gaps is explained by sociodemographic characteristics, part of the

  gap remains unexplained. Approximately 64 per cent of the employment

  differential and 43 per cent of the wage differential is unexplained and

  may be due to discrimination. Therefore, our findings highlight the

  importance of appropriate anti-discrimination policy.'
