This thesis utilizes a labor market segmentation framework to analyze the work experiences (attitudes, employment stability, earnings and occupational achievement) of a sample of young men from the National Longitudinal Surveys Career Thresholds data. Jobs are classified by detailed Census industry and occupation, and the outcomes experienced by individuals are analyzed to determine: (1) the separate contribution, apart form workers' personal (human capital) characteristics, of job class in accounting for differences among workers in earnings, job satisfaction and employment behavior; (2) how workers' personal attributes interact with job characteristics in generating these outcomes; and (3) how personal characteristics influence individuals' job (occupational class) location.
