Stability and Change in 25-Year Occupational Career Patterns.

Jepsen, David A.; Choudhuri, Enakshi

Career Development Quarterly, v50 n1 p3-19 Sep 2001

Identifies and describes occupational career patterns (OCPs) for a single cohort of high school graduates. Stable OCP is experienced by persons engaged in the same type of occupation over their entire working career. Results indicate that more than one third of the respondents experienced stable OCPs, and that OCP stability is linked to lower midlife job satisfaction. (Contains 49 references and 3 tables.) (GCP)
