The theory of compensating wage differentials

Explanation:

The theory of compensating wage differentials is theory that explains the differences that occurs in wages between people.

When everything else is the same a high rate pay may refer to the fact that the job may be less attractive so since the job may be undesirable a compensating wage may be used to make up for this in order to pursued people to accept the job or as an encouragement to change their mind and consider the offer that may seem unattractive.

A compensating differential can also occur in a desirable job but it won't be positive in this case because when a job is desirable a potential employee may willingly take the job even if it offers lower wages just because it is desirable

Working in a coal mine has many undesirable features that may not attract someone to it hence may have to explain the high wages and being a secretary may be attractive or may be a compromise for Jasmine in the lack of available jobs.
