Our findings indicate that voluntary turnover in the youth labor market represents an explicit attempt to improve economic position. Workers who quit are those who receive less than their market wage. Moreover, unsatisfactory job matches appear to be an important cause of youth turnover--the accumulation of job tenure rapidly diminishes the likelihood of changing jobs; and workers who locate jobs under unfavorable economic conditions are more likely to find that such jobs subsequently prove unsatisfactory. Finally, the maturation process increases the purposiveness of workers' turnover behavior, albeit modestly.
