The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors that affect wages in Japan. It is widely believed that wages vary in accordance with educational backgrounds, the speed of promotion, a scale of a company, a type of industry, lengh of service, age and so on. However, this has not been rigorously tested using data. In order to clarify these relationships, I used the data from “Investigation of workers in 2000” by Recruit Research. As it contains personal data of the staff, it is possible to indentify the relationships among them. When the data was analyzed, it was found that a university graduate got a high wage even though I controlled various attributes. It was because of the speed of promotion and the size of the company. The gap was brought about by the quality of the training in the company and promotion as a result. It was also found that there was no diffrerence in pay gaps or the speed of promotion between a university graduate of a scientific field (Biology, engineering, mathematics and so on) and one of liberal arts (Law, economics, literature and so on).
