Job Changing Behavior of Young Men in the Civilian Labor Market In: First Term Enlisted Attrition, Volume 1. H.S. Sinaiko, ed. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution, 1977 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Smithsonian Institution Keyword(s): Behavior; Educational Attainment; Military Recruitment; Mobility; Quits An overview of job mobility of young men is presented using the major economic schools of thought, including the human capital perspective, the neoclassical and the "institutionalist" approaches. It appears that quits of a first job are affected most by the age at which the respondent first worked, the occupational classification of that job, and rate of pay. Whites are shown to have a higher likelihood of quitting their first job than blacks. Some policy recommendations for the armed forces and recruiting, based on data from the NLS, are included. |
