Abstract:

Each year, the Statistics of Income Division of the Internal Revenue Service publishes data on the salaries and wages earned by U.S. taxpayers. Because these data are taken from a file of individual income tax returns, they do not reveal the gender or age of the earner, nor do they indicate how much deferred income is being received by these earners. However, files produced intermittently since 1989, and annually since 1996, combine information from tax returns with that from Forms W-2 and the Social Security Administration's file on age and gender. This paper will discuss trends in salaries and wages, as well as deferred income, received by men and women in the United States between 1989 and 1999.
