BRAZIL, JEFF Play Dough American Demographics 21,12. (December 1999): 56-61. Also: http://www.demographics.com/ Cohort(s): NLSY97 ID Number: 3499 Publisher: American Demographics Inc. Data gleaned from the latest National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 confirm that many of today's youngsters are living the lush life. Marketers and retailers hoping for strong holiday sales numbers may want to bear that in mind. Copyright PRIMEDIA Intertec Dec 1999. DORTCH, SHANNON For This I Waited? One in Eight Working Women Who Are Promoted Does Not Receive a Pay Increase American Demographics 16,10 (October 1994): 14,16 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 577 Publisher: American Demographics Inc. Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Although a job promotion usually means more money, a raise is not guaranteed, especially for women. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Longitudinal Survey, which is based on 1991 interviews of 5,000 women aged 37 to 48, shows that 13 percent of working women who are promoted on the job do not get a pay increase. In the survey, 94 percent of women in managerial occupations received more pay with their promotions, while only 76 percent of women in service jobs received more money. Moreover, women who work full-time are far more likely than their part-time counterparts to get a raise when they get a promotion--89 percent versus 78 percent. A college degree is also helpful. Additional survey results on promotion of women are presented. LACH, JENNIFER Advanced Placement American Demographics 22,4 (April 2000): 22 Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 3517 Publisher: American Demographics Inc. A promotion usually means more money---and more work. But are male and female workers tapped equally for advancement? A new analysis by researchers Deborah Cobb-Clark and Yvonne Dunlop shows that while a gender gap in promotions exists in the early careers of young men and women, it seems to disappear over time. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Cobb-Clark and Dunlop tracked promotion rates for the same group of workers in 1990 and 1996. In 1990, the group ranged in age from 23 to 33 years. Men were more likely to get promoted in 1990, but women took the lead six years later, slighly edging out their male colleagues for the corner office. In a recent issue of "Monthly Labor Review" from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the authors suggest that gains in work experience may explain why women catch up with men later in their careers. The story is similar when it comes to black men, they add. In 1990, promotion rates for black men reached 30.4 percent, compared to 34.2 precent for men overall. The gap narrowed substantially by 1996, with advancement for black men at 25.5 percent and men overall at 25.4 percent. LACH, JENNIFER Babysitter's Club, The American Demographics 21,7 (July 1999): 27 Cohort(s): NLSY97 ID Number: 3518 Publisher: American Demographics Inc. More than half of all 14-year-olds participate in some type of work, from bagging groceries to babysitting the kids next door, according to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. White youths are much more likely to punch in than blacks or Hispanics, and girls work more freelance jobs than boys. Teachers, take heart: Kids aged 14 to 15 who work spend roughly the same amount of time on homework as those who don't have a job. RICHE, MARTHA F.
