This research analyzes the relationship between a young woman's labor force status when last enrolled in school and her labor market behavior in the first two years after leaving school. The results showed that in-school work increases the early post-school weeks worked and decreases early post-school weeks unemployed. In addition, the overall effects of in-school work are presented in the statistical models in the second part of the study. In racially-pooled analysis, there are two main sets of results: (1) In-school labor force participation raises relative post-school earnings, and post-school hourly wage rates. (2) Post-school weeks unemployed are sharply lower (higher) if the young woman was a part-time worker (unemployed) in school as opposed to an NLF student.
