Tomorrow's Workers Lexington, MA: Lexington Books, 1983 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Jossey-Bass Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Discrimination, Sex; Dropouts; Job Search; Occupational Aspirations; Part-Time Work; Vocational Education; Work Attitudes; Work Knowledge Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The first chapter provides an overview of the youth population and its employment status. The next chapter describes those who are already working, including the kinds of jobs they have, their attitudes toward those jobs, and the determinants of their pay. Chapter three focuses on youths who are seeking employment, their methods of job search, their wage expectations and the limitations and barriers they must overcome. Because a major determinant of employment success is education and training, chapter four enlarges on the experiences of the young people in school and in a variety of training programs. The fifth chapter focuses on another set of crucial determinants of success in the work force-the hopes, plans, and expectations of the youths themselves. The final chapter summarizes the findings of the earlier chapters and draws implications for public policy. |
