Labor force participation of young women from 1968 to 1970 is examined using: (1) the mean number of weeks in the labor force during the 12- month period preceding the survey; (2) the percent of respondents spending 52 weeks in the labor force during the period; (3) the percent with any weeks of employment during the period; and (4) the mean number of weeks employed during the 12 months prior to a survey for those with any unemployment during the period. Just over 30 percent of the young women employed in 1968, who married between 1968 and 1970, had left the labor force by 1970. Unemployment seems to be more common and to occur for a longer time for high school dropouts than for those who completed high school. Education, however, appears to bear no regular relationship with change in unemployment experience.
