The purpose is to find out various factors affecting the income gap and discuss the influencing mechanism of these factors. The important methods are the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, the Cotton decomposition and quantile decomposition. The second aspect analyzes the group of the floating population separately. First of all, according to the monthly salary income, it layers three disparate income stratification of the floating population. Then according to the single factor analysis method, it analyses the factors having significant effect on the income level.
