Wages are down. Inequality is up. Job security is down. These are common refrains from the popular press and the academic literature from the 1980s through the mid-1990s. Divergent Pathes tackles these issues head-on from an interesting perspective and with a useful and novel method. The perspective is to analyze the career development of young workers. The method is to examine changes in career development by comparing two NLS cohorts, one from the 1960s and 1970s and one from the 1980s and 1990s. The result of the analysis is a rich description of changes in how careers unfold.
