The effects of changes in market jobs on earnings and labor supply decisions for women workers who are in their thirties and forties are analyzed using data from the NLS of Mature Women, 1969-1972. In addition to predicting percentage changes in hourly wage rates as a result of employer changes, this research examines flows out of the paid labor force and adjustments in hours of market work. Quits are divided into family-related quits and job- related quits, and both of these groups are distinguished from job losses. Job-related quits are more likely to increase hours of market work when they change jobs than either family- related quits or joblosers. Forty percent of the women job-changers were hurt by turnover in the sense that they earned less after changing employers than they earned at their old market jobs.
