Notes: The occupation earnings measure is the occupation fixed effect from a regression using the March CPS of log earnings on seven education dummies, gender, race, year fixed effects, and a quadratic in potential experience. I restrict this regression to full-time workers aged 35 to 59 from 1980 to 1999.
