Employment Trajectories after Incarceration: Patterns and Racial Disparity Presented: San Francisco CA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Employment; Incarceration/Jail; Labor Market Outcomes; Racial Differences; Unemployment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Despite a large literature documenting the impact of imprisonment on labor market opportunities, less understanding exists of the actual employment trajectories of former prisoners. We use sequence analysis to chart the entire employment trajectories for 640 U.S. male former inmates in the first five years following imprisonment. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we find that although more than half (59.84%) former inmates got into stable employment after they are released, the rest of them (40.16%) experienced long time unemployment or unstable employment. Besides, the results also reveal a racial disparity in post-release employment trajectory. Compared to Whites, African-Americans are less likely to get into stable employment trajectories. Further analysis shows that this racial disparity cannot be fully explained by the length of incarceration, previous incarceration experiences, and other social demographic variables. This paper sheds lights on former prisoners' transitions back into society. By analyzing the dynamics of employment trajectories, the paper integrates the life course perspective into research on the impact of imprisonment on labor market outcomes. The racial disparity revealed by the data also implies that the unequal impact of criminal records may lead to divergent life trajectories for different racial/ethnic groups.

2.	Career Trajectory and Health in Mid-Adulthood Presented: Austin TX, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Family Income; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Obesity; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. One of the gaps of extant literature on the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) on health outcomes is overlooking the effect of the dynamics in SES as well as its gender difference. Using the fixed effects model, this paper examines the effect of the change in annual net family income on the possibility of obesity, which is independent of the effect of annual net family income per se. Results based on the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY 79) shows that in general, the risk of obesity will be enhanced by higher net family income, but that risk is lower for those whose net family income increases faster. However, the effects of the net family income per se and the change in net family income are only significant, at least at 0.1 level, for females. The findings highlight the significance of SES change in health stratification research.
