Abstract: Abstract Based on Statistics Canada's 1991 School Leavers Survey and its 1995 Follow‐up, the objective of this paper is to assess the impact of working while in high school both on the probability of graduating from high school and on future wages. The results for both men and women show a strong negative effect of working while in school on the probability of graduation, although the results for females are more sensitive to the specifications used. There is very little evidence that working while in school has a positive effect on the wage at the time of the 1995 interview. A l'aide des résultats de l'Enquête auprès des sortants (ES) de 1991, et de l'Enquête du suivi auprès des sortants (ESS) de 1995 de Statistique Canada, cet article évalue l'impact d'occuper un emploi pendant les études secondaires sur la probabilité de compléter ses études et sur les salaires subséquentes. Tant pour les hommes que les femmes, les résultats montrent qu'il y a un effet négatif significatif sur la probabilité de compléter les études secondaires, bien que les résultats pour les femmes soient davantage sensibles au choix des spécifications utilisées. Il y a très peu de résultats probants quant à un quelconque effet positif du travail pendant les études sur le salaire au moment du suivi.
