1.	Millennial Generation's Job Search Activity and Job Quality: Findings from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Journal of Social Service Research 45,2 (2019): 269-277. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01488376.2018.1480553 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Job Rewards; Job Search; Job Status Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Job quality of young adults in the USA has been eroding since the Great Recession of 2007. The intensity of job search activities are a well-established predictor of employment, yet little is known whether job search intensity is associated with the quality of subsequent secured employment. This study examined the 2013 sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) (N = 1566), which follows a sample of American youth born between 1980 and 1984 and contains reliable measures of job search activities and job quality. Multivariate regression models examined whether job search activities were associated with pay, paid vacation days, full time job status, regular work schedule, and availability of a union contract, controlling for demographic factors. The results demonstrated that the number of job search activities completed was positively associated with multiple positive employment-related outcomes. Programs to assist individuals in the job search process may benefit from these results when offering strategies for successfully securing employment of a higher quality that may offer increased quality of life.

2.	Long-Term Effects of Adolescent Childrearing: A Retrospective Analysis Journal of Social Service Research 2 (Summer 1979): 341-55 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Childbearing; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Fertility; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Teenagers This study explores the effect of adolescent childrearing on the hourly wages of women in the labor force. Women who were adolescent mothers earn less than other married or previously married women due to an inability to achieve comparable educational levels. Adolescent mothers from more favorable socioeconomic backgrounds fare better than other adolescent mothers in terms of education and income; however, their losses are substantial compared to women from the same background who postponed childrearing. Finally, adolescent mothers are more likely to be or to have been heads of households, with the economic disadvantages of that status.

This secondary data analysis examined the impacts of human capital, child care, fringe benefits, child support, ethnicity, county economy, and county minority-population size on participation in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) by parents living at or below the federal poverty threshold. Longitudinal records of 1,789 such parents were extracted from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1996–2008). Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression showed that having personal/family problems, being African American, and residing in a county with widespread unemployment were associated positively with TANF receipt. TANF receipt was associated negatively with employment offering a retirement plan, full-time employment, part-time employment, and residence in a county with a large Hispanic population. Future research might explore the relationship between subpopulations’ sizes and states’ TANF policies.

4.	Racial Disparities in Welfare Dependence and Financial Independence: Links to Human Capital, Local Economy, and State Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Policies Journal of Social Service Research 43,1 (2017): 69-84. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01488376.2016.1235070 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Economics, Regional; Ethnic Differences; Geocoded Data; Human Capital; Local Labor Market; Racial Differences; Racial Equality/Inequality; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); Welfare This secondary data analysis examined racial disparities in associations between welfare dependence/financial independence and human capital, local economy, and state TANF policies. A sample of 6,737 parents was extracted from the public-use data set titled "National Longitudinal Survey of Youth." Results showed that restrictive TANF policies reduced African Americans' likelihood of welfare use and increased likelihood of their financial independence. Multinomial logistic results also showed that, among Hispanics, employment growth in neighboring counties promoted welfare use; whereas among Caucasians such growth promoted financial independence. County poverty increased (a) Caucasians' likelihood of welfare use and (b) Hispanics' likelihood of being working poor; it decreased Caucasians' and African Americans' likelihood of financial independence. Across ethnic groups, education reduced likelihood of welfare use and working poor status; across minority groups, education increased likelihood of financial independence, but among Caucasians it decreased such likelihood. Across ethnic groups, occupational skills hindered dependence and improved odds of employment (regardless of welfare or poverty status). This study concluded the studied TANF policies and job markets were not color-blind. Interventions this study implies include less-restrictive TANF policies, generous support services, TANF staff cultural-competence training, and anti-discrimination rules. Research investigating particular TANF policies' and services' effects by ethnicity might prove useful.

Poverty, Parenting, Peer, and Neighborhood Influences on Young Adolescent Antisocial Behavior Journal of Social Service Research 28, 1 (2002): 1-23 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Bias Decomposition; Children, Poverty; Depression (see also CESD); Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parenting Skills/Styles; Peers/Peer influence/Peer relations; Poverty; Punishment, Corporal Data from a sample of young adolescents between the ages of 10 through 12 years of age (N = 898) from the mother-child data set of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were analyzed in a study of influences that explain the relation between poverty and depressive symptoms measured two years later. Other variables that predicted youth depressive symptoms also were identified. Results indicated that neighborhood problems, nonparticipation in outside school and neighborhood activities, residing with mothers who exhibited depressive symptoms, and mother's use of physical punishment were partial mediators of the effect of poverty on depressive symptoms two years later. Youth health status, lower levels of school satisfaction, marital-partner conflict, and father's emotional support also predicted depressive symptoms. The findings indicate that youth depressive symptoms are multiply determined and that poverty can adversely affect young adolescents in many ways.

6.	Two Strikes Against Them? Exploring the Influence of a History of Poverty and Growing Up in an Alcoholic Family on Alcohol Problems and Income Journal of Social Service Research 28,4 (2002): 23-52. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J079v28n04_02 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Childhood Adversity/Trauma; Income; Parental Influences; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The relationship between poverty and substance abuse is complex and mitigated by many factors. While poverty is a risk factor for adolescent substance abuse, there is little research documenting the relationship beyond adolescence. Using a systematic sample of 1,268 cases from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study investigated whether there are synergistic, intergenerational effects of poverty and alcoholism. Results suggest that a co-occurring history of family alcoholism and poverty has a nonlinear relationship with alcohol problems and income as an adult. Young adults who were poor six or more years and lived with an alcoholic relative for nine or more years are at greater risk of having low income and problems with alcohol as an adult compared to others. Implications for policy, practice, and future research are discussed.

To investigate the relationship of ethnicity in the development of children in Head Start, this study examined the associations between ethnicities and reading trajectories and whether trajectories of home environment could over time explain their differential associations. Participants (N = 696) were selected from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data. Results indicated some similarities and differences in the results obtained. Study findings suggest including an environmentally sensitive family component in Head Start and suggest an early enrollment policy targeting at-risk populations to maintain long-term Head Start impacts across ethnicities. Future research and follow-up studies should investigate other family components that positively affect long-term development among Black, Hispanic, and White children participating in the Head Start program.

8.	Job-Seeking Behavior in Young Adults: Do Unemployment Insurance Benefits Hurt Job Search Efforts? Journal of Social Service Research 41,1 (2015): 133-140. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01488376.2014.964900# Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Job Search; Unemployment; Unemployment Insurance The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association between extended unemployment insurance (UI) benefits and young adults' job-seeking behavior. In particular, the study evaluated if the extension of UI benefits to 99 weeks in 2008 had direct effects on job search efforts. Three waves (2007-2009) of data (N = 915) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were analyzed using multiple regression models to assess the association of UI benefits to young adults' job search efforts. Additionally, the homogeneity of slope coefficients of the UI benefit on job search effort was evaluated across 3 years using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results of regression analyses suggest that UI benefits were negatively associated with job search efforts for 2007 and the pooled sample of 2007 to 2009, but the relationship was not significant for 2008 and 2009. The results of the ANCOVA suggest that the UI benefit extension of 2008 did not have any negative association with job search efforts. Future studies should explore the subjective experiences and decisions young adults make in consideration of unemployment, UI benefits, and job search efforts.
