Peer reviewedOettinger, Gerald S. – Monthly Labor Review, 2000
Data comparing employment patterns among high-school-age youth show that student employment is highly seasonal and concentrated in just a few industries and occupations, whereas dropouts tend to work year round and in a more diverse set of jobs. (Author)

Peer reviewedOettinger, Gerald S. – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1999
Survey data from 1979 to 1983 show that regular employment of high school students at modest weekly hours was associated with higher grades within grade levels. Extensive school-year employment had large, significant negative effects on the academic performance of minority students. Summer jobs had no effect on grades. (SK)
