This article uses a national data source, the NLS of Young Women, to consider four dependent variables: annual weeks worked, annual weeks unemployed, annual earnings, and hourly rate of pay. For each dependent variable, the parameters are estimated in Tobit models. In the racially pooled analysis, three model specifications are used for each variable and two main sets of results emerge. First, in-school labor force participation raises relative post-school weeks worked, earnings, and hourly wage rates. Post-school marriage and work-limiting health limits were found to be dominant determinants of the labor market outcomes. In addition, the findings showed post-school weeks unemployed to be significantly lower if the woman was a part- time worker in school. |
