Estimating Youth Employment and Unemployment: The National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth Labor Market Experience Review of Public Data Use 10, 1-2 (May 1982): 127-135 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Commerce Keyword(s): Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Dropouts; High School; Hispanics; Unemployment, Youth; Wages, Reservation The Current Population Survey (CPS) provides valuable data on the overall employment status of youth and, once a year, on school enrollment status. The 1979 NLSY also provides this type of employment status data and showed extensive labor force activity during the spring of 1979 among youth aged 16-21. Youth were engaged actively in both school and work responsibilities. The NLSY also contains data permitting a more detailed examination of employment issues, not possible with the CPS. Examples of the research that could be done with the NLS presented in this article include further employment status comparison by Hispanic groups and analysis of unemployment by occupations and reservation wages sought. |
