An article used 15 years of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine the possible effects of nontraditional employment and nontraditional work experience over time. It also examined the effects of changes in nontraditional employment on wage growth, to control for unobserved variation between those who are currently in, or ever have been in, nontraditional, as opposed to traditional, jobs. The results confirm that both men and women in nontraditional employment tend to have different earnings and benefits than those in traditional employment, whether or not other characteristics are controlled for.
