Working Long Hours and Early Career Outcomes in the High-End Labor Market Journal of Labor Economics 31,4 (October 2013): 785-824. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/669971 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Labor Market Outcomes; Wage Growth; Work Hours/Schedule This study establishes empirically a positive but nonlinear relationship between weekly hours and hourly wage growth. For workers who put in over 47 hours per week, 5 extra hours are associated with a 1% increase in annual wage growth. This correlation is not present when hours are lower. The relationship is especially strong for young professionals. Data on promotions provide evidence in support of a job-ladder model that combines higher skill sensitivity of output in higher-level jobs with heterogeneous preferences for leisure. The results can be used to account for part of the gender wage gap. |
