Abstract

The average observed wage of Black registered nurses (RNs) is higher than that of White RNs in the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses over 2 decades from 1984 to 2004. In this study, wages of Black and White RNs were analyzed controlling for factors likely to affect wages in addition to race. Results indicate racial inequality in wages of RNs: Black RN wages exceeded White RNs wages over 2 decades from 1984-2004. This significant difference remained after controlling for factors likely to affect wages in addition to race such as experience, education, employer type, and specialty among other factors.

摘要

在1984年至2004年的20多年间，美国注册护士全国抽样调查显示，黑人注册护士的平均实际工资高于白人注册护士。在本研究中，除种族因素外，还对可能影响工资的因素进行了分析，以比较黑人和白人注册护士的工资情况。结果表明，注册护士的工资存在种族不平等现象：在1984年至2004年的20多年间，黑人注册护士的工资超过了白人注册护士。在控制了除种族外可能影响工资的因素后，这种显著差异依然存在，这些因素包括工作经验、教育程度、雇主类型和专业等。
