Abstract	This report documents the employment status of Virginia Community College System (VCCS) students. In fall 1996, all 24 colleges involved in the study had at least a 50% working student population, and nearly 41% of all VCCS students were working full-time and also taking classes. A profile of business and industry showed that community colleges serve employees from all segments of the Virginia economy, with retail trade being a major employer for younger students. In addition, VCCS students are employed at the majority of Virginia's information and high-technology firms. Major groups in the services sector, the largest employer of VCCS students, include health, business, education, and engineering-management. The study found that 1) though males and females have the same rates of employment, males are more likely to work full-time; 2) if they are working, white, black, and Hispanic students are most likely to have full-time jobs; 3) new students are less likely to be working than returning students; 4) most VCCS students attend class part-time and work full-time, with the percentage of full-time employees increasing with age up to the 60-and-over category; and 5) the 18-21 age group has the highest percentage of working students.
