The article presents a job-level analysis of income differences between employed men and women. There are three components of income discrepancies by sex: differences by sex in employee qualifications, differences by sex in job characteristics, and differences by sex in the ways these variables are translated into obtained income. Broad occupational categories typically lump together rather dissimilar jobs. Alternatively, if one attempts to control for job content by using very narrowly defined occupations, high levels of sexual segregation seriously confound the sexual composition of particular jobs with the nature of the work itself. Job characteristics are subject to response errors and the differences between individuals within the same job are subject to random measurement error.
