We offer an integrated explanation and empirical analysis of the polarization of U.S. employment and wages between 1980 … and 2005, and the concurrent growth of low skill service occupations. We attribute polarization to the interaction between … service occupations (employment polarization), experienced earnings growth at the tails of the distribution (wage polarization …

In particular, if matching in 2005 between husbands and wives had been ….34, so that income inequality would be smaller. Thus, assortative mating is important for income inequality. The high level …
