The Effect Interruptions in Work Experience Have on Wages Southern Economic Journal 61,4 (April 1995): 955-970. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1060734 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Southern Economic Association Keyword(s): Benefits, Fringe; Labor Economics; Re-employment; Schooling; Skills; Training; Wage Differentials; Wage Levels; Wages; Work Experience The impact that interruptions in work experience have upon wages is examined in order to explain why previous studies found higher rates of wage depreciation the greater the fraction of recent reentrants in the sample data. Using a new sampling technique and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women, an overall sample average depreciation rate of two percent a year is estimated. Further analysis, however, reveals that this estimate is quite sensitive to the length of the post-reentry employment spell. Individuals who remain employed for at least three years following reentry do not appear to have reentered at significantly lower wages. |
