College effects for young men's earnings, employment, and wages differ across economic context and the propensity to complete college.

For low-propensity individuals, recessionary contexts increased the effects of college on employment and earnings, but not on wages.

For high-propensity individuals, the opposite pattern occurred, with college effects on wages increasing during recessionary contexts.

Results are consistent with labor queues, where reductions in available jobs causes more desired workers to displace less desirable workers below them in the queue
