...Thus, we find a need to update important parts of the previous literature on employment stability among less skilled workers, particularly in light of the major changes that have occurred in the labor market for these workers. More attention needs to be placed on less skilled workers more generally, who can be identified on the basis of academic achievement through test scores as well as educational attainment. In addition, we need to consider how other determinants of employment stability, such as job characteristics, previous employment experiences, and family status, affect this group compared with other workers.
