Abstract | This Research Brief highlights key findings from a study that examined the labor market attachment of male dropouts who obtained the GED credential in Florida between 1994 and 1998. I compared these credentialed dropouts to the men who attempted, but failed, the GED exam during the same period. Credentialed dropouts had a higher probability of being employed one year after the exam--a difference that persisted two years later. Among individuals who were unemployed in the quarter during which they took the tests, GED passers found jobs faster. I also found that passing the tests is linked with more stable work histories for white dropouts. (Author). |
