Job satisfaction has a negative impact on voluntary job quits. If women quit dissatisfying jobs and interrupt their careers more than men, then gender gaps in earnings, labor force participation and leadership roles may persist. In panel data reflecting two generations of similarly aged workers in the US, women's quit behavior in the past was significantly more responsive to job satisfaction. Yet, this gender difference vanished over time. Fixed effects estimations and robustness checks confirm these results and suggest that the improvement of labor market gender gaps over time may reflect a convergence between genders in how job satisfaction affects quit decisions.
