Results
•2/3 of work-bound or unemployed students were from low SES.
•High school sophomores in the lowest SES were 3 times more likely
to be work-bound and 4 times to be unemployed.
•Academic achievement- Work-bound students and unemployed are
similar and they are lower than college bound students
• work-related characteristics and preparation- work-bound youth
were almost three times as College-bound peers to be in a
vocational track.
