This study examines two hypotheses developed from the literature on part-time employment: that youth whose first job becomes permanent and who are employed part-time will experience neither lower status nor wages in their later work experience compared to their full-time counterparts. These same youth, however, will not fare as well in their later employment compared to in-school youth who are also working part-time. The data are subjected to analyses of variance and covariance. The latter technique adjusts the main effects of working time for a number of work experience and demographic variables which were identified as potential contaminants. The results support both hypotheses. Permanent part-time work for youth who choose not to remain in school is a viable labor market alternative. The policy implications of this general finding are discussed.
