The four factors that determine wage differentials include
efficiency in labor, where skilled workers may get higher pay than the
unskilled ones; working conditions is another factor, as performing one’s job
in dangerous areas may give higher pay to compensate for the risks involved;
discrimination also affects the wage rates and said rates may be biased against
a certain person or group; lastly, there is the demand for laborers across
occupations that vary, and the wage paid may depend on the desirability or the
requirements needed for a certain job.
