dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes the relationships of schooling, the skill content of work experience, and different types of employment patterns withless-skilled women's job quality outcomes. Survey data from employers and longitudinal data from former and current welfare recipientsare used for the period 1997 to early 2002. The analysis of job quality is broadened beyond employment rates and wages measured at a point in time byincluding non-wage attributes of compensation and aspects of jobs that affect future earnings potential. This study shows the extent to whichlack of employment stability, job skills, and occupation-specific experience impedes welfare recipients' abilities to obtain a“good job” or to transition into one from a “bad job.” The business cycle downturn has significantly negatively affected thejob quality and job transition patterns of former and current recipients. © 2003 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis andManagement. | en_US |
