There is an emerging debate over whether truck drivers are 'underpaid' given their human capital and working conditions. Using data from the 2000 Current Population Survey, the pay differentials between truck drivers and other blue collar occupations are investigated. While truck drivers appear to receive a small premium in their hourly wage compared to workers with similar skill requirements, they receive substantial premium in their weekly wage. This weekly wage differential is primarily the result of a substantially longer work week. |
