The NLS Young Men's cohort respondents interviewed in 1980 reinforced the findings from the mid-1960s that on-the- job training is by far the most common way of acquiring job skills. The earlier study of all labor force participants age 22-64 found that 37 percent of those with less than three years of college reported OJT as the most helpful method of acquiring job skills. Race was an important factor throughout this study. Rates of use of training differed strongly by race and were unaffected by introducing controls for level of education and type of job held.
