In this paper, I examine the impact of eye and hair color on wages at one’s first-job after completing schooling. Evidence suggests that having blond/red hair has a positive impact on wages, particularly for white people and females. Using detailed ethnic origin information collected by the Census and using tipping point analysis, I find that individuals with blond/red hair who reside in a county where ethnicities with brown/black hair/eyes constitute the majority, earn around nine percent more compared to individuals with brown/black hair residing in the same county.

在一个非金发碧眼的社区成为金发碧眼的人有回报吗？眼睛颜色、头发颜色、种族构成和起薪

在这篇论文中，我研究了眼睛和头发的颜色对完成学业后第一份工作的工资的影响。有证据表明，拥有金色/红色头发对工资有积极影响，尤其是对白人和女性而言。使用人口普查收集的详细种族起源信息并使用临界点分析，我发现居住在棕色/黑色头发/眼睛种族占多数的县的金发/红色头发的人与个人相比收入高出约 9%居住在同一县的棕色/黑色头发。
