Failure to Earn a High School Diploma: Correlates and Consequences for Central Pennsylvania Report, Penn State Workforce Education and Development Initiative, August 2008 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Penn State Workforce Education and Development Initiative Keyword(s): Dropouts; Employment; GED/General Educational Diploma/General Equivalency Degree/General Educational Development; High School Dropouts; Labor Force Participation; State-Level Data/Policy; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of the research described in this report was to estimate the personal compensation foregone as a consequence of the failure of these 681 dropouts in 2005–2006 to leave high school with a diploma. To provide this estimate, from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2007a) was analyzed to calculate, using ordinary least squares regression, the average difference, ceteris paribus, between the personal compensation of dropouts and graduates at the national level. Then, the average personal compensation difference is multiplied by the number of the central Pennsylvania dropouts working, which provides an estimate of the aggregate personal compensation costs of failure to earn a high school diploma for central Pennsylvania.

Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10775-015-9290-x/fulltext.html Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): High School; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Occupational Status; Occupations; Skills Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this study, we investigated high school graduates' school-to-work transition by considering their post-school occupational skill levels. Using an ordinal growth model analysis, occupational status increased in an arch-shaped curve as the number of years after high school graduation also increased. This growth trajectory was further related to the presence of training certificates, parental education levels, cognitive ability, and gender. The course of study did not significantly relate to occupational status. Participation in work-based education, including cooperative and mentor programs, related to the likelihood of students advancing to high-skill-level occupations. Further, we applied propensity score weighting to deal with plausible sample selection bias.

4.	Employment of Young GED Recipients GED Research Brief No 14, American Council on Education, Washington, DC: GED Testing Service, 1987. Also: http://www.eric.ed.gov/PDFS/ED291894.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: GED Institute Keyword(s): Employment; GED/General Educational Diploma/General Equivalency Degree/General Educational Development; High School Dropouts; Labor Force Participation; Tests and Testing; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A study used the NLSY to determine the labor market consequences for young people of acquiring a General Educational Development (GED) degree in 1985. Three major consequences of receiving a GED were examined: labor force participation, employment status, and hourly wages. The analysis showed that GED recipients had greater chances of being labor force participants than young people without GEDs or high school diplomas. High school graduates were more likely to be participants than were GED recipients. Moreover, the more time that elapsed after obtaining a GED or a high school diploma, the greater the chance that a youth was a labor force participant. As was observed with labor force participation, the chances of being employed were much greater in 1985 for young high school graduates than for GED recipients or youths with neither a GED nor a high school diploma. Interpretation of annual salaries from hourly wages indicated that the typical GED recipient would have earned in 1985 about $780 more than a youth without a GED or diploma, but $1,340 less than a youth with a high school diploma. Further research is needed to determine what the GED means to employers, to GED recipients and aspirants, and to the general public. [ERIC ED291894]

5.	Epidemiology of Work Injuries among Former Participants in Vocational Education Presented: Ellenville, NY, Annual Meeting of the Northeastern Educational Research Association, October 1991 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Northeastern Educational Research Association Keyword(s): Education, Secondary; Vocational Education; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A study examined whether, holding work experience and sex constant, exposure to vocational education during secondary school was related to incidence of nonfatal work-related injuries. Data were from the 1987 and 1988 annual National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience interviews of young adults who were between 14 and 21 years old on January 1, 1979. Point and interval estimates of the cumulative incidence of nonfatal work-related injuries were determined. Estimates of injury incidence were derived by assuming that the underlying distribution of work-related injuries was Poisson. The relative risks of work-related injury were estimated by secondary school curriculum participation pattern using linear Poisson regression procedures through a computing algorithm. Findings showed the cumulative incidence of work-related injuries reported was 9,049 injuries/100,000 work years of exposure to injury risk. Work-related injuries were more likely among males than females and less likely among young people in the upper two-thirds of the distribution of work experience. Participation in vocational education was not related to the relative risk of work-related injury. Three possible explanations were considered: (1) imprecision of measures of injury incidence and participation in vocational education; (2) employment in occupations not related to training; and (3) misspecification of the model of injury incidence.

The employment of 6.4 percent of United States teenagers and young adults is limited by their health. These young people are less likely to have jobs than youths without health problems. Also, they work fewer hours per week than the youth average, although they earn as much per hour as youth without health limitations. Differences in satisfaction and prestige which youths enjoy from their jobs are not related to the presence of health conditions. Youths who reported health conditions lasting their entire lives are more likely to have jobs than young people recently acquiring their conditions. These relationships are derived from analyses of responses of 11,412 civilian noninstitutionalized youths to the l979 NLSY.
