High School Employment, High School Curriculum, and Post-School Wages.

Light, Audrey

Economics of Education Review, v18 n3 p291-309 Jun 1999

Uses data for male high-school graduates to estimate a wage model that includes detailed measures of high-school coursework and postschool work experience as covariates. High-school employment's direct effect on subsequent wages is small and relatively short-lived. Vocational courses and postgraduation work experience provide indirect benefits. (30 references) (MLH)
