Abstract

The earnings of manual workers in the public and private sectors for the years 1970-77 are examined. The marked improvement in the relative pay of public sector workers which had been noted in earlier work is confirmed. It is found that in the period from 1970 to 1976 the relative pay of the public sector improved by over 10 per cent. In 1977 there was a movement back in favour of the private sector of about 2 1/2 per cent, but this still left the relative pay of public sector manual workers 10 per cent higher than in the 1950s and 1960s.
