Are College-Educated Young Persons Finding Good Jobs? A Look at Some of the Evidence
Download Are College-Educated Young Persons Finding Good Jobs? A Look at Some of the Evidence [PDF - 4.3 MB]

In the following descriptive analysis, an attempt is made to look at the kinds of jobs young persons, who are college educated, have moved into in recent years and to determine if they have indeed changed in a qualitative sense. The data that are analyzed come from two nationally representative surveys: the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) (as well as the March supplement on income and work experience) and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). CPS data are first used to set the stage, that is, to examine various aspects of the work activities of college-educated young persons. What indeed do the data show regarding their unemployment situation, their rates of labor force participation, their earnings experience, and so on.
