Gabe Creative Class Research Cited in Huffington Post

A column in the United Kingdom’s Huffington Post about disparity in earnings among various occupations cited research by University of Maine economist Todd Gabe, whose research has shown that people in many creative jobs, like physicists, writers, artists and actors, are paid less than people in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields. Gabe’s observation that UMaine engineering graduates can earn $25,000 more a year
than liberal arts graduates speaks to the phenomenon, the column notes.
