Hispanic Youth in the Labor Market

摘要

Using data from the 1979 and 1980 interviews of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLS), this study examines the labor market experiences of Hispanic youth. Subjects selected for analysis include employment and unemployment, job search methods, types of occupation, job satisfaction, government sponsored employment and training, attitudes toward work and military service, reported illegal activities, and employment opportunities. Comparisons are made with blacks and whites who were also included in this sample of young men and women aged 14 to 21 in 1979.
