Abstract
The emphasis on researching ethnicity and sex as independent variables often fails to reveal their strong interactional effects in explaining salary inequities in schools of social work. This paper presents findings which indicate that although there is no significant difference in the salaries of minority and nonminority faculty as a whole, it is a problem area for minority females. Sex is a stronger variable than ethnicity in explaining salary differentials, with the following rank order from highest to lowest mean salaries: nonminority males, minority males, minority females, and non-minority females.
