Abstract

Earnings profiles of students formerly enrolled in a college of agriculture were analyzed in the context of labor market information. Analysis of covariance was used to estimate models explaining how salary determinants changed during the alumni's careers. Gender, education, year of job market entry, profit sharing, and personal emphasis on earnings were found to be significant determinants of starting incomes. Starting incomes were found to be a prime determinant of later year salaries along with experience on the immediate job, profit sharing, oral and technical skills, marital status, and place of residence. Labor market information was found to vary in quality across participants and have a limited shelf life.
