The relation between income inequality and technological progress has many chapters, of which the most recent corresponds to the task content of jobs. Proponents of this theory suggest that falling prices of computational power coupled with the increasing power of computers leads to an increasing substitution of workers with computers and a hollowing of the middle of the income distribution. While empirical analysis on task content of jobs explain inequality between occupations, we test whether the framework can also foster our understanding of wage dispersion within occupations. Using European data, we obtain estimates of wage dispersion and residual wage dispersion for each occupation and relate it to the task content. The results suggest that non-routine intensive occupations presented greater wage dispersion, even after controlling for a variety of factors.

职业内工资分布与岗位任务内容

收入不平等与技术进步之间的关系有很多章节，其中最新的章节对应于工作的任务内容。该理论的支持者认为，计算能力价格的下降与计算机能力的增强相结合，导致越来越多的工人被计算机替代，并导致收入分配中间空洞化。虽然对工作任务内容的实证分析解释了职业之间的不平等，但我们测试了该框架是否也能促进我们对职业内工资分散的理解。使用欧洲数据，我们获得每个职业的工资离散和剩余工资离散的估计值，并将其与任务内容相关联。结果表明，非常规密集型职业呈现出更大的工资差异，
