Abstract: Despite all efforts in the past few decades, the pace of male-female wage convergence was very slow. San Francisco Bay Area as an advanced, culturally diverse and a pioneer socioeconomically metropolitan suffers from male-female wage discrimination. It is the purpose of this study to estimate the average extent of discrimination against female workers in the Bay Area and to provide a quantitative assessment of the sources of wage inequality using Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition. The results indicate that influencing factors such as education, marital status, and work experience are rewarded differently between men and women. Additionally, the major portion of the wagegap remains unexplained with human capital characteristics.
