This paper provides a selective survey of recent empirical studies, largely by economists, which are based on the four original age-sex-cohorts of the NLS. The survey is organized around the following labor market issues: (1) the estimated returns to schooling; (2) the impact of early labor market experience on subsequent employment and earnings; (3) the effect of discontinuous work experience on the earnings and labor supply decisions of married women; and (4) the retirement decision of older workers.
