This study uses longitudinal data from the High School and Beyond Surveys (1980–1986) to construct employment patterns over a 6-year-period for graduates who did not attend college. Hispanic graduates are highlighted because less is known about their employment status upon finishing high school. Most of the high school graduates worked continuously following graduation and periods of not being in the labor force were more common than unemployment periods. Yet, among Hispanics, nearly half of the women and two-fifths of the men experienced at least one period of unemployment during the period under study. Interpretation of the various combinations of labor force activity presents a formidable challenge to researchers; the findings nevertheless provide a better portrayal of the dynamic school-to-work transition among youth
