Abstract Based on the data from CGSS2013, we explored the magnitude and the sources of the wage differentials between urban and migrant workers in China's urban labor market with Neumark and Appleton Method as well. Findings are that an overwhelming proportion of the wage differentials are stemming from the endowment difference between the two groups, wage discrimination against the migrant workers, which obviously happened only after the workers got employed, is not a big issue. What is really worth being concerned about is the occupation discrimination, which accounts for nearly half of the wage differentials. Education contributes a lot to the wage differentials by taking three forms: its differential of endowment, return and employment probability. Experience plays a role of reverse discrimination. The results above imply that we must do our best to narrow the pre-market difference to rule out or at least cut down the wage differentials of the two groups and we also have to promote the labor market competition, clarify the practical criteria for discriminations and simplify the judicial proceedings as well to cripple the effects of occupational discriminations.
