Hispanic Youth in the Labor Market: Explorations into the Job Search Process
Report to the National Council of La Raza, U.S. Department of Labor, 1982
Cohort(s): NLSY79
Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor

The job search process for Hispanic youths is examined according to four interrelated areas: (1) labor market knowledge; (2) type of job search method utilized; (3) search extensiveness; and (4) search time. Results of the analysis show Hispanic youth tend to rely on informal methods of job search. Given these sources, the kinds of jobs these youth secure may be lower paying and less occupationally mobile positions. Since Hispanic youth limit their method options, levels of search extensiveness are also lower.
