Resumen

This paper studies interfirm gender segregation in a unique sample of small US employers. We find that interfirm segregation is prevalent among small employers, as men and women rarely work in fully integrated firms. It also finds that the education and sex of the business owner strongly influence the sex composition of a firm's workforce. Finally, it estimates that interfirm segregation can account for up to 50% of the gender gap in annual earnings. -Authors
