Irwin J. Goldman, Roslyn G. McDonald, Joyce L. Epstein

Abstract

The absence of knowledge regarding the job experiences of disadvantaged youth is a major barrier to the creation of effective programs. Job histories of youths from low-income neighborhoods were studied with respect to characteristics of jobs held, extent of employment, nature of first jobs, and ethnic differences.
