RELATIVE EARNINGS REDUX: YOUTH MOBILITY IN THE 1980s

Review of Income and Wealth, 1994, vol. 40, issue 4, 441-456

Abstract: A complete view of inequality should encompass not only measures of distance between hierarchical ranks, but also measures of the extent of individual movement across ranks (mobility). Evidence from the NLSY indicates that relative earnings mobility was pervasive among young workers in the 1980s; possibly even higher than in the 1960s. Gender and race differences are apparent, however.
