1. Skills, Earnings, and Employment of Americans with Postsecondary Education below the Bachelor's Degree. The Impact of Human Capital in the American Labor Market Series

Abstract

This report examines the growing interest in expanding access to postsecondary education through non-degree certificate programs and associate degree programs. This policy report seeks to better understand the implications of these trends by analyzing employment experiences and earnings outcomes of individuals whose highest level of educational attainment is below the bachelor's degree. In this paper the authors use the findings from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adults Competencies (PIAAC) survey of adult skills conducted in the United States in 2012, 2014, and 2017 to explore the earnings and employment gains to attendance and completion of postsecondary education below the bachelor's degree level. The authors explore the employment and earnings outcomes separately for three educational groups of adults: those with some postsecondary education without any certificate or degree award, those who earned a certificate below the associate's degree level, and those who earned an associate's degree. The analysis includes all individuals with postsecondary attainment below that bachelor's degree regardless of the level (less than 2-year, 2-year, or 4-year college) or sector (public or private/for-profit or nonprofit) of enrollment.

2. Human Capital and the Labor Force Participation Behavior of American Men and Women. The Impact of Human Capital in the American Labor Market Series

Author

Abstract

This report examines factors that are associated with the labor force participation behavior of working-age men and women in the United States with a focus on the connection between labor force participation and human capital skills and educational attainment. The analysis reveals very different patterns of labor force attachment for American men and women over the past 50 years. Findings suggest that policies targeted to bolster the human capital abilities of the working-age population to increase their labor force participation are likely to be more effective among women than among men.

Abstract

IT only perpetuating our historical reputation as the "dismal science" that keeps economists looking for weeds and nettles among the flowering of the prospering U.S. economy? Among those entrancing blooms have been the recent declines in both the absolute numbers and the rates of poverty (Figure 1). Yet our urge for statistical and policy relevance motivates us to raise again the question of the way poverty has been measured in the United States over the past thirty-five years. Why raise the issue of poverty's measurement in such affluent and generally happy times? For one reason, we made progress in our antipoverty war in part by following Senator

6. A Frayed Connection: Joblessness Among Teens in Chicago

Author

Abstract

The report examines the post-2000 decline in teen employment, which is part of a broader pattern of decline in employment rates among large parts (but not all) of the working-age population in the U.S. and Illinois. In Illinois the chance that a teen will be employed has fallen nearly in half since 2000. While about half of all teens in Illinois were employed at the end of the 1990s, by 2011-2013 just over one in four teens were working. Young adults aged 20-24 in the state also experienced very large reductions in their employment rate, which fell from 73 to 60 percent over the decade-plus period. A look at the findings reveal that while employment rates declined for all residents of the state under the age of 55, older workers (55 and over) increased their rate of employment during this time period; especially workers aged 65 and older. These data reveal an odd reversal in the composition of who gets work. As baby boomers reach pre-retirement and retirement years they are more likely to work. Moreover, there is considerable evidence that these older workers became employed in entry-level occupations where teen employment was most heavily concentrated.
