Abstract: This paper estimates the wage gap between full-time black and white male workers in the United States, comparing available data between 2010 and 2019. Wage gaps may happen between age, education level, race, and so on. The ordinary least squares model is used to estimate the regression. This paper determines the factors that cause wage gaps between black and white workers. Have the wage gaps decreased since 2010? Does occupation type influence the wage gaps? Does education level influence the wage gaps? This paper determines factors that cause wage gaps between black and white workers in the United States.
