Job Shopping Among Young Men Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1980 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Educational Attainment; Mobility; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Wages; Work History; Work Knowledge The causes and effects of job mobility among young men are examined. The effect of job mobility in the first five years of a worker's career is to improve matches between workers and job while mobility in the second five years does not appear to be efficient since it reduces wages and increases wage dispersion. Early mobility can be explained by unlucky first job matches and imperfect information about the labor market. Later mobility is reduced only by formal education. Race and family background do not affect job mobility when other factors are accounted for. Hence, the conclusion that some identifiable racial or social groups have "pathological" rates of job mobility does not seem to be warranted. |
