A model of occupational choice is considered. Due to incomplete and asymmetric information, various individuals have different sets of choice. Conceivable definitions of fair wages are discussed and analyzed. Existence of a fair wage structure is proved in a formal model where occupation is regarded as a large indivisible good. The model is of particular interest for wage setting in the public sector, where the neoclassical relationship between wages and marginal productivity is not always applicable.
