The CPS changed its education item in 1992. This paper develops adjustment factors for earnings at different education levels to make pre- and post-1992 earnings comparable. To accomplish this, contradictory results from alternative data sources are analyzed and, to the extent possible, reconciled. The adjustments reduce the estimated growth in the College/High School earnings ratio between 1989 and 1993 by between 29 and 48 percent for men and between 44 and 73 percent for women.
