Job Mobility and the Careers of Young Men
利用纵向数据研究年轻男性工作流动与工资增长的关系,发现工作变动带来的工资增长占早期职业生涯工资增长的三分之一以上,且工资是决定工作变动的主要因素。
Using longitudinal data, we study the processes of job mobility and wage growth among young men. During the first ten years in the labor market, a typical worker will hold seven jobs, about two thirds of his career total. The evolution of wages plays a key role in this transition to stable employment: wage gains at job changes account for at least a third of early-career wage growth, and the wage is the key determinant of job changing decisions among young workers. Job changing is a critical component of workers' movement toward the stable employment relations of mature careers.
