This report on an annual salary survey of trainers shows that, although training professionals' base salaries increased 7.1 percent over last year, their raises (3.9 percent) were not equal to those of the general public (4.5 percent). Tables depict salaries by region, gender, job category, industry, gross sales/assets, education, and experience.…

The experience of the classes of 1977, 1980, 1984, and 1986 shows that the college job market was fairly stable during this period. (Author)

Employment in public schools has doubled since 1964, and the student-employee ratio fell from 13.3 to 6.4 in 1990. After rising during the recent recession, it has returned to the 1990 level. It is unclear whether the ratio will decline further as budgets will be forced to accommodate rising student populations. (JOW)

Offers a state-by-state guide to employment in 141 large occupations based on the 1990 census data. Indicates where the jobs are likely to be and provides an analysis of factors that influence how jobs are distributed. (JOW)

Discusses the relationship between occupational tenure (cumulative number of years a person has worked at an occupation) and employer tenure (the continuous number of years that a person has worked for the same employer).

Evidence reveals a slight shift on the part of young, college-educated workers toward technical, sales, and administrative occupations and toward lower paying service-producing industries. Whether this represents a permanent change in their job prospects remains to be seen. (Author)

From 1983 to 1993, faster growing United States industries tended to employ more part-time workers. Because no such relationship was evident before 1980, it is doubtful that industry growth and part-time work are intrinsically related. (JOW)

Trends in employment, occupations, output, and input provide evidence that firms increased their use of contract and contingent labor. Further research is needed to explore the causal factors behind the shift toward market-mediated work arrangements. (JOW)

During the early 1990s, there was no growth in women's labor force participation rates. Since 1994, however, the rate has edged upward with mothers accounting for most of the rise. (Author)

Based on data from the supplement to the February 1995 Current Population Survey, contingent workers were more likely to be female, black, young, enrolled in school, and employed in services and construction industries than were noncontingent workers. More than 10% were teachers. (Author)

Trends in the labor force participation rates of people with disabilities follow closely those of people of the same age and sex who are free from disabilities. In both groups, women fared better than men in the 1970-92 period. (Author)

During 1995 to 1996, the number of workers who lost jobs declined and the proportion that was reemployed rose. Compared with the previous Displaced Worker Survey, displaced workers spent fewer weeks without work and suffered less severe earnings losses. (Author)
