In the labor market of the United States, a wide range of socioeconomic and demographic factors impact workers' income and decisions to seek new jobs, which are two critical metrics of labor income dynamics. Studies of income dynamics have historically been examining major demographic and situational factors such as marital and family matters of Americans from the 1960s to 2000s. However, technological breakthroughs have drastically changed the landscape of the labor force and economy, and individuals face a more complex and diverse context. This paper recognizes the need to analyze the factors behind these two income dynamics metrics in the contemporary setting. This paper confirms that the wages and other types of income of the cohort (born in 1980s and 1990s) in the United States are explained by personal demographics, living habits, and family background conditions. This paper focuses on finding significant demographic and personal factors that determine whether individuals will seek a full-time job in United States since 2010.
