2.	Minimum Wage Careers NTIS Report PB2000107225, Federal Reserve System, Washington DC: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Aug. 1999 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Disadvantaged, Economically; Employment; Income Level; Legislation; Minimum Wage This paper investigates the extent to which people spend careers on minimum wage jobs. We find that a small but non-trivial number of National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) spend 25%, 50% or even 75% of the first ten years of their career on minimum or near-minimum wage jobs. Workers with these minimum wage careers tend to be drawn from groups such as women, blacks, and the less-educated that are generally overrepresented in the low-wage population. The results indicate that lifetime incomes of some workers may be supported by a minimum wage. At the same time, these same groups would be disproportionately affected by any minimum wage-induced disemployment. The results suggest that minimum wage legislation has non-negligible effects on the lifetime opportunities of a significant minority of workers.

5.	The Minimum Wage and the Employment of Teenagers. Recent Research ERIC Document No. ED397242, Clearinghouse No. CE072037, June 1993. Also: http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/jhr/1996ab/currie2.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ERIC Keyword(s): Employment, In-School; Employment, Youth; High School; Higher Education; Minimum Wage; Unemployment; Vocational Education Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A study used individual-level data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth to examine the effects of changes in the federal minimum wage on teenage employment. Individuals in the sample were classified as either likely or unlikely to be affected by these increases in the federal minimum wage on the basis of their wage rates and industry of employment. An estimation, concentrated on teenagers, showed that workers whose wages were between the old and new minimum wage and whose wages were raised by the increase in the minimum were 3-4 percent more likely to lose their jobs in the following year than individuals not directly affected. Even after controlling for the differences among teenage workers, the study concluded that the simple fact of working at a wage below the new minimum raised the probability of unemployment. (YLB)
