The subject is wage discrimination among workers with differing privately-known reservation wages and costs of obtaining "credentials" that can be observed by a monopsonist firm. Numerical examples are studied in which workers are equally productive, and in the population their reservation wages and credentialing costs have a normal distribution with negative correlation. According to these examples, wage discrimination is unprofitable. Copyright 1988 by The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics.
