Abstract

Individual labor market experiences are examined in terms of educational attainment, labor force participation, and wages received. Explanatory factors include personal attributes and two multivariate scales measuring place characteristics related to development. The results indicate that place characteristics associated with development have important effects on labor market experiences. Labor market experiences particularly for women are likely to be better in locales that have a greater incidence of contemporary characteristics and less population pressure.
