This paper analyzes the net effects of technology and import competition on employment, wages and wage inequality in the Canadian manufacturing sector over the 1970-1990 period by estimating reduced form employment and wage equations. The analysis uses non-production and production workers to distinguish between two types of workers. For each group, person-hours worked, the level of employment and the hourly labor compensation by industry are examined. The major findings for the study are as follows: (1) the growth of employment and real hourly labor compensation in the Canadian manufacturing sector is positively related to technical progress and to the price of imports; (2) the relative employment of non-production to production workers is negatively related to technical progress, while the relative real hourly labor compensation of non-production to production workers is positively associated with technical progress; (3) the relative employment of non-production to production workers is negatively related to the price of imports, and the relative real hourly labor compensation is positively associated with the price of imports.
