Patterns of Early Labor Force Participation of American Women Career Development Quarterly 36,1 (September 1987): 55-65.

The most prevalent patterns found were those in which the women were either largely out of the labor force or clearly invested in the labor force. The least prevalent patterns included those in which participation was sporadic and inconsistent. The more extensive a pattern's labor force participation, the less downward and more upward movement there was in Duncan socioeconomic level (proportion of sample moving up or down). The opposite was true of those patterns with the least extensive labor force participation. The more extensive a pattern's labor force participation, the higher the Duncan Socioeconomic Interval achieved. When each of the seventeen patterns identified was classified by two raters as corresponding to one of Super's (1957) seven career patterns of women, it was found that the greatest proportion of subjects belonged to Super's stable working pattern, followed by the stable homemaking pattern. |
