The study’s author analyzes data from the 1979 Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). The NLSY79, conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor, surveys 12,686 young men and women nationwide between the ages 14-22 years old. Individuals were interviewed annually through 1994 and have since been interviewed on a biennial basis. The survey tracks individuals’ labor force activities and includes data on start and stop dates for each job held since the last interview, periods in which individuals are still looking for work, or are out of the labor force. Data allows for measures of actual labor market experience, tenure with a specific employer, and employer mobility. Pouncy uses the data to look at education levels and rates of incarceration among young white, Hispanic and black males, and the extent to which this population earned money from secondary markets such as illegal activities. |
