Using O*NET Occupational Characteristics with Longitudinal Panel Data Presented: San Diego CA, Western Economic Association Conference, July 2006 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Western Economic Association International Keyword(s): Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations; Wage Growth; Work Hours/Schedule; Work, Atypical Our research project at the University of Iowa traces the effects of flexible work practices on individual’s wage growth over time, which we believe will be moderated based on organizational and occupational characteristics of the respondent’s primary job. For example, we believe that jobs involving a high level of customer/client service or team coordination of work tasks may penalize employees more strongly for utilizing a flexible schedule or working from home. The O*NET data base contains measures such as these for detailed job classifications using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we needed to attach occupational characteristics from the O*NET data base to each person/job in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY) sample beginning with the 1989 wave through the 2002 wave when respondents were in their peak years of career building and family formation. |
