The Emerging College Hours Premium for Men Education Economics published online (27 July 2021): DOI: 10.1080/09645292.2021.1958169. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09645292.2021.1958169 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): American Community Survey; Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); College Graduates; Current Population Survey (CPS) / CPS-Fertility Supplement; Educational Attainment; High School Completion/Graduates; Male Sample; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper documents the emerging role of education in the well-known decline in US male working hours. An insignificant hours difference between high school and college graduates becomes a significant 2 hours/week advantage for college graduates within a generation. This growing college hours premium is confirmed in alternate data. Moreover, the growing premium exists throughout the distribution and is not generated by the tails. The increasing premium persists across a wide variety of robustness checks and presents as a widespread phenomenon. The emerging college hours premium increases the overall college earnings premium despite recent trends in the college wage premium. |
