Pavement Pounding Patterns. Work and Family: Jobs Held and Weeks Worked by Young Adults, NLS Report 827 Minority Markets Alert, November 1992: pg. Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: EPM Communications, Inc. Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Hispanics; Job Search; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. As is demonstrated in [the article's] tables, at each age, Whites average more jobs than Hispanics, and Hispanics more than blacks. But by age 29, the difference between White and Hispanic job rates become almost nonexistant. This pattern differs somewhat among female workers. Similar to their male counterparts, Whites average more jobs than Hispanic and Black women of all ages. Yet by age 24, Blacks and Hispanic women average the same number of jobs; and, after age 24, Black women surpass Hispanic women in the number of jobs held. Data also indicate that men and women are fairly similar in total weeks worked at early ages. This trend shifts as younger workers age; by age 29, men have on average about 90 more weeks of work experience than do women. Number of jobs held since age 18, 1978 to 1990 |
