Young Adults at 23 Monthly Labor Review 134,2 (February 2011): .2-2. Also: http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2011/02/mlr201102.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): College Graduates; Education; Educational Attainment; Educational Outcomes; Gender Differences; High School Dropouts; NLS Description This month, BLS released its latest findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 regarding school enrollment, training, and employment transitions of young people. The survey is a nationally representative study of about 9,000 young men and women who were born from 1980 to 1984. Among its many findings, the report indicates that a gender gap exists in educational attainment, with nearly 1 in 4 women having earned a bachelor’s degree by age 23 but only 1 in 7 men having done so. The data also indicate that the labor force status of 23-year-olds differed significantly by educational attainment--89 percent of those with a bachelor’s degree who were no longer enrolled in school were employed, as compared with 60 percent of high school dropouts.
