This article examines how a wife's year to year transition between labor force states is related to changes in market earnings potential. Findings reveal characteristics of women who will remain in the labor force. For example, the likelihood of a wife withdrawing from the labor market is somewhat higher for women giving birth to a child. Those who are likely to enter the labor force are those whose family capacity has increased, especially if their husbands' income has fallen.
