Effects of High School Work Experience a Decade Later: Evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey Sociology of Education 69,1 (January 1996): 66-81.

Reports data from the 1979-1991 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for a sample of 2,716 young people (ages 16-19 when first surveyed) on the effects of working while in high school on educational attainments & a variety of labor force outcomes roughly a decade after high school completion. Previous studies focused on short-term consequences & reported mixed & contradictory results. Here, results suggest moderately negative long-term effects on educational attainment in that working youths are less likely to attend or to complete 4+ years of college. However, working during high school has a positive effect on a variety of labor force outcomes (labor force participation, employment status, & income) even a decade later, despite the small educational decrement that working youths suffer. It is concluded that, a decade later, labor force & income gains somewhat offset the educational decrements that are related to working while in high school. 5 Tables, 21 References.
