In Germany fixed-term contracts are \ndisproportionately found among workers with very high qualifications and those with low qualifications. \nThe authors develop the concept of a "two-tier" labour market for fixed-term contracts and test this \nconcept using quantile regression, comparing the wages and wage growth of fixed-term and permanent \nworkers at different points on the wage distribution with data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. \nIn the case of wages this concept is supported: those with high-wage fixed-term contracts earn only \nslightly less than permanent counterparts, those with low-wage temporary jobs earn much less. \nHowever, the wage growth findings do not point to polarisation: many of those with low-paying fixedterm \ncontracts often experience high wage growth. Summarising, our results indicate that Ordinary Least \nSquares (OLS) regression misses important aspects of the wage structure of fixed-term workers, which is \nimportant to bear in mind when assessing the implications of these jobs for the individuals concerned.
