on the educational life of The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast  their children. Evidently, children brought up in these homes are privileged because of their access to quality high schools within the district they reside. We therefore argue that there is a higher possibility for children from these wealthy homes to continue their college education. In effect, the higher wages received by the college graduates has a stronger effect in increasing the college wage gap among th The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast e non-whites. Since most of the whites are in the high-income group, good housing is readily available to them. Children from these homes are naturally enrolled into good schools which reinforce their educational attainment. From this perspective, high sc The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast hool graduates are paid wages which are higher than that which would have been received if they had graduated from a low quality high school. For instance, evidence from table 1.5 shows the mean of the log hourly wage for both whites and non-white high school and college graduate for years under study. We find that on The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast  average white high school graduates have greater wages than their non-whites colleagues. One then expects the extent of wage gap between college graduates and high school graduate among the whites to be lesser than that of the non-whites. If the income distribution between whites and non-whites is uniform at each period, college wage premium will not differ much across race. SECTION V. CONCLUSION This paper considers the college wage premium for both whites and non-whites. We use data from IPUMS for the 1980 and 2014 sample. Our results suggest that over the thirty-four-year period, the college wage premium has increased across wage. For the whites, the college wage premium increased from 38% in 1980 to 59% in 2014. In addition, that of the non-whites increased from 43% to 66% between the two periods. Most importantly, for both race, the rise in the wage premium is higher for the non-whites than the whites. An explanation for the increase in the wage premium across race is due to the technological advancement in most sectors of the economy. The use of advanced technology in industries has resulted in an increase in the demand for skilled pe The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast rsonnel who have the requisite knowledge. Moreover, we find the wage premium to be higher for the non-whites than the whites within each period. The rise in the wage gap among the non-whites than the whites over the period can be attributed to the differences in the geographical location for both groups. Most whites reside in well-developed districts than the non-whites. The effect is that children raised from good family background have access to quality education at the expense of the non-whites who are financially deprived. Because of this, the wages of white high school graduates are higher than the non-whites. We therefore assert that, it is possible for the college wage premium for the non-whites to be higher than the whites. POLICY IMPLICATION Given the fact tha The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast t high school graduates receive lower wages than college graduates, the main policy implication from this paper is to increase accessibility to college education. This will reduce the disparities in wages between the different educational groups. Also, a rise in the number of college graduates following the improvement in accessibility will increase the supply of college graduates. If the increase in the supply of college graduates more than offset the demand for college graduates, the college wage premium will fall as the wages of colleg The epic of Gilgamesh movie cast e graduates reduces. In addition, policies should be enacted to upgrade educational structures in segregated area to bridge the earning gap in the college wage premium between whites and non-whites. Previous studies which analyze how the level of schooling affect earnings of an individual argue that education is endogenous in the earnings function. Because of th>
