How Low-Income Women Find Jobs and Its Effects on Earnings.
Rankin, Bruce
Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v30 n3 p281-301 Aug 2003
Data from a stratified random sample of 953 low-income urban women were analyzed to determine how they find jobs and the effect it has on subsequent earnings. Results show that although most find jobs through informal contacts, this has no effect on earnings. Those who recently left welfare were more likely to find jobs through formal sources.
