EMPLOYMENT STATUS TRANSITIONS IN A LONGITUDINAL-STUDY OF YOUNG-PEOPLE

We report the workforce status, one year later, of four annual waves of respondents in a longitudinal study. The satisfied employed were the most stable group, with an average of 90% remaining in the same category after one year. The dissatisfied employed had often (55% on average) become satisfied a year later, and the unemployed were the group most likely (at 18% on average) to undertake further study.
