1.	Job Change and Job Stability among Less Skilled Workers In: Finding Jobs: Work and Welfare Reform. D.E. Card and R.M. Blank, eds. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2000 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Family Characteristics; Job Search; Job Skills; Job Tenure; Mobility, Labor Market; Skilled Workers; Skills; Test Scores/Test theory/IRT ...Thus, we find a need to update important parts of the previous literature on employment stability among less skilled workers, particularly in light of the major changes that have occurred in the labor market for these workers. More attention needs to be placed on less skilled workers more generally, who can be identified on the basis of academic achievement through test scores as well as educational attainment. In addition, we need to consider how other determinants of employment stability, such as job characteristics, previous employment experiences, and family status, affect this group compared with other workers.

2.	Job Change and Job Stability Among Less-Skilled Young Workers JCPR Working Paper 80, Joint Center for Poverty Research, Northwestern University/University of Chicago, March 1999 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Joint Center for Poverty Research Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Cognitive Ability; Education; Educational Attainment; Employment; Employment, Part-Time; Fertility; Gender Differences; High School Dropouts; Job Skills; Job Training; Job Turnover; Marital Status; Test Scores/Test theory/IRT; Welfare; Work History Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this paper we review evidence from previous studies of job and employment instability among less-educated young workers, and we provide some new evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Our results indicate that early employment instability contributes somewhat to the low levels of employment observed among high school dropouts, especially females. Important determinants of job stability include the cognitive skills of the workers themselves (as measured by math test scores); current or previous experience and job tenure; and a variety of job characteristics, including starting wages, occupation and industry. Job instability among female dropouts seems to be strongly related to fertility history and marital status. Some implications for policy, especially welfare reform, are discussed as well.
