Work and Opportunity in the Post-Industrial Labor Market Final report to the Russell Sage and Rockefeller Foundations. Institute on Education and the Economy, Columbia University, New York NY, 1997. Also: http://www.tc.columbia.edu/~iee/Labor1.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Men Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Mobility; Mobility, Labor Market; Wage Equations; Wage Gap One of the most pressing questions facing researchers and policy makers today is how economic restructuring has affected the nature of work and mobility in America. It is no longer simply a matter of rising wage inequality, but increasingly a question of what it means to have a job and to build a career. As workplaces are reorganized, there are potentially strong effects on job stability, career development, and upward mobility. Little is known about the long-term consequences of restructuring, so in this study we compare the first 16 years of work experience for two cohorts of young white men from the National Longitudinal Surveys: the original cohort, followed from 1966-1981, and the recent cohort, followed from 1979-1994. Conclusions and Findings. |
