Two Work Lives in the NLSY79
Telling Stories with Longitudinal Data
What is an occupation? Is a quantitative sociology approach different than econometrics?
At Rolling Downhill, I explore these questions and look at two work lives for women with high school diplomas in the NLSY79. One experiences a steady climb at a firm; the other has a boom and bust work life.

How Many Careers Do Workers Have?
Measuring career continuity across job transitions in the NLSY79 cohort
How many careers do people have over their work lives? We find U.S. workers in the NLSY79 cohort have about 3 careers on average.
On Rolling Downhill, I write about why careers are key sociological concept in understanding economic mobility.

A sociological perspective on economic mobility and the future of work. Click to read Rolling Downhill, by Michael A Schultz, PhD, a Substack publication.
Let me introduce you to my new blog on substack, Rolling Downhill at www.rollingdownhill.com!
A common image for economic mobility is a rock climber. A sociological approach lends itself to another image: a ball rolling down a hill. I unpack this analogy in the introductory post.
