Abstract

Using personnel records of 11,051 US Civil Service employees for 1974-1977, the relationship of institutional job training to salary is examined as a function of minority/sex group & time in the career. The results suggest that job training is especially important to employees early in their careers; that minorities & women receive less training than white Ms; & that the dollar returns to training vary by minority/sex group. The implications of these findings are discussed for administrative policies such as affirmative action. 3 Tables, 18 References. Modified HA
