What I learned from NLS data

With respect to the effect of working on students’ GPAs, we found small negative effects of working while in school on all students’ first-year GPAs, although the effect was much larger for two-year college students.

This site was created at the Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR) at The Ohio State University to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS). The NLS is a program of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. CHRR has conducted the NLS since the program began in 1965, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau (from 1965 to 2003) and NORC at the University of Chicago (from 1978 to the present).
