Abstract: Pay equity job evaluations remove some wage bias, but do not resolve class inequalities. It is "socially efficient" to require capital to meet a democratic standard of wage justice, which would require firms to continuously upgrade job values, eliminate unskilled work, reduce hours of work, and pay a high minimum wage. Requiring firms to upgrade and equalize job structures builds on the pay equity argument and addresses both discrimination and class issues.
