Number of Jobs, Labor Market Experience, and Earnings Growth: Results from a National Longitudinal Survey News Release, USDL-19-1520. Washington DC: US Department of Labor, August 22, 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Earnings; Employment History; Job Patterns; Labor Force Participation Individuals born in the latter years of the baby boom (1957-64) held an average of 12.3 jobs from ages 18 to 52, according to a news release from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nearly half of these jobs were held from ages 18 to 24. On average, individuals were employed during 78 percent of the weeks from ages 18 to 52. Generally, men spent a larger percent of weeks employed than did women (84 percent versus 72 percent). Women spent much more time out of the labor force (24 percent of weeks) than did men (11 percent of weeks). The average annual percent growth in inflation-adjusted hourly earnings was highest during a worker's late teens and early twenties. Growth rates in earnings generally were higher for workers with a bachelor's degree or higher than for workers with less education. |
