Changes in the Federal Minimum Wage and the Employment of Young Men, 1966-67 In: Youth Unemployment and Minimum Wages: Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin 1657. Washington, DC: U.S. GPO, 1970 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office Keyword(s): Minimum Wage; Teenagers; Unemployment, Youth These data permit the "before and after" experience of youth to be related to the wage they were earning before the new minimum became effective. The authors ask whether those youth whose marginal productivity was lower than the newly established minimum had relatively less favorable employment experiences after the minimum wage changes than those whose wages already had been above the minimums. One would expect these low productivity youngsters to be among the first to feel whatever restriction of employment opportunities the minimum wage created. The fact that the authors have been unable to find in their data any general tendency for the foregoing relationship leads to the conclusion that if the minimum wage increases did indeed create unemployment among youth, the effect was not a pronounced one. Even when the analysis was focused on these subgroups of young men who might, on a priori grounds, be expected to be most vulnerable to the impact of the minimum wage, only a small number of such subgroups showed any signs of adversity. |

Dual Careers, Volume 1: A Longitudinal Study of the Labor Market Experience of Women Manpower Research Monograph 21, Volume 1. Washington DC: US GPO, 1970 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Child Care; Children; Clare Jellick; Family Background and Culture; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Job Training; Marital Status; Part-Time Work; Work Attitudes Data from the first interview (1967) of Mature Women age 30-44 in 1967 are used to examine their labor market status and attitudes, as well as their prior work experience and plans for the future. Marital history and status, family background, health, education, income patterns and attitudes toward work and home are investigated, as are participation in the labor force, occupation, rate of pay, transportation, and child care. Part-time employment and its ramifications are explored. Occupational and geographic mobility and movement are studied and their relationship to career beginnings shown. Work attitudes and job attachment are evaluated; and, finally, major sources of variation in labor market behavior are explored and found to be largely race, education, marital status, ages of children, and work-related attitudes. |

Employment Patterns In: Years for Decision, Volume 1, Manpower Research Monograph 24. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1971 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office Keyword(s): Child Care; Educational Attainment; Marriage; Occupational Attainment; Wages This article examines the types of employment of young women and their relationship to race, marital and family status, education, and training, as well as labor market characteristics. Rate-of-pay is next examined, and is shown to correlate positively with educational attainment. Type of occupation appears to be related to rate of pay as well, although differently for whites than for blacks. Child care is also discussed. |

Years for Decision, Volume 1: A Longitudinal Study of the Educational and Labor market Experience of Young Women Manpower Research Monograph 24, Volume 1. Washington DC: US GPO, 1971 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Child Care; College Enrollment; Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Family Background and Culture; High School; Job Training; Occupational Aspirations; Teenagers; Unemployment, Youth; Vocational Education Data from the initial survey of young women age 14-24 in 1968 are used to examine their labor market status, attitudes and previous training, education, and work experience. Plans for the future, not only for employment, but also for marriage, education and children are also examined including their impact on young women's labor market experiences. Unemployment, labor force participation, and occupational distribution of non-students, and the employment status of students are investigated, as are job attachment, rate of pay, child care arrangements, and family background. Due to the large variation in age, it was difficult to generalize for the entire sample, but subsequent surveys will lessen this discrepancy and permit a complete analysis of the group as a whole. |

Career Thresholds, Volume 2: A Longitudinal Study of the Educational and Labor Market Experience of Male Youth Washington DC: US GPO, 1971 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office Keyword(s): Clare Jellick; Dropouts; Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Family Influences; High School; Job Training; Mobility The present report, the second in the series on the NLS of Young Men, summarizes some of the findings of the second round of interviews with that cohort that were conducted in the autumn of l967. Based exclusively on tabular data, its primary purpose is to describe the magnitude and patterns of change that occurred in the educational and labor market status of the youth during the 12-month period between the first and second surveys. The age span covered in the survey includes those years of a young man's life in which he first becomes integrated into the world of work. This is a critical period in the total socialization process. The young man's subsequent labor market behavior is influenced substantially by his educational and early labor market experiences. In this report, the authors have begun an analysis of these experiences by focusing on the magnitude and character of various changes that have occurred over a one-year period--in school enrollment status, labor force participation, unemployment experience, occupational and interfirm mobility, and educational aspirations. |
