A Description of the Earnings and Employment Experiences of Youth Presented: San Diego, CA, Meetings of the Western Economics Association, 1990 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Western Economic Association International Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Attainment; Labor Force Participation; Unemployment, Youth Remarkably little is known about the patterns and volatility of labor market activities of youth over a 12-month horizon. Data from the NLSY on earnings and employment experiences are categorized by 13 age-education groups and six years. Variation across different age-education groups, variation over time, and variation within each age-education group are summarized. The observed variation across different age-education groups is consistent with a priori beliefs. The observed variation over time is consistent with the business cycle of the early 1980s. Within each age-education group there is a substantial variation in labor market experiences. Even at the individual level, there is substantial variation in labor market experiences over the course of a calendar year. |
