Labor Market Activity, Education, And Partner Status Among Americans At Age 33: Results From A Longitudinal Survey News Release, USDL-20-0813. Washington DC: US Department of Labor, May 5, 2020. Also: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/nlsyth.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Job Patterns; Labor Force Participation; Marital Status Americans born in the early 1980s held an average of 8.2 jobs from age 18 through age 32, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. These young adults held more jobs at younger ages: they held an average of 4.5 jobs from ages 18 to 22 compared with 2.3 jobs from ages 28 to 32. While aged 18 to 32, women with more education held more jobs than women with less education. Regardless of education, men held a similar number of jobs. These findings are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, a nationally representative survey of about 9,000 men and women who were born during the years 1980 to 1984. These respondents were ages 12 to 17 when first interviewed in 1997 and ages 32 to 38 when interviewed for the 18th time in 2017-18. The survey provides information on work and non-work experiences, training, schooling, income, assets, and other characteristics. The information provided by respondents is representative of all men and women born in the early 1980s and living in the United States when the survey began in 1997. |
