Size of U.S. Low-Wage Labor Market, 1967–2015
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018) and CPS (Flood et al. 2018).
Note: The median low-wage threshold refers to two-thirds of the median wage for full-time workers. The mean threshold is two-thirds of the mean wage for all workers.
- Figure 2.
Mobility Rate Across Employment Spell by Entry Period and Occupation
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018).
Note: Using median threshold (two-thirds of the median age for full-time workers). Compiled from the four baseline models (m0) by starting occupation.

Significant Changes in Average Marginal Effects for Covariates over Time
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018).
Note: Using median threshold (two-thirds of the median wage for full-time workers). Reference categories: woman (man), nonwhite (white), prime age (young adult), bachelor’s or higher (high school diploma), part-time (full-time), starting and current occupation (professional and technical), firm change (same firm), worked in better wages (unemployed), industry (agriculture and mining).

Average Marginal Effect of Entry Period on Mobility, Low-End Service Entrants
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018).
Note: Using median threshold (two-thirds of the median wage for full-time workers).
- Figure 5.
Average Marginal Effect of Entry Period on Mobility, Manual Entrants
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018).
Note: Using median threshold (two-thirds of the median wage for full-time workers).
- Figure A1.
Cumulative Mobility Out of Low-Wage Work Across Employment Spells
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018).
Note: Results from the full model (m4) using the median wage threshold (two-thirds of the median wage for full-time workers).
- Figure A2.
Significant Average Marginal Effects for Mobility for All Low-Wage Workers
Source: Author’s calculations based on the PSID (2018).
Note: Results from the full model (m4) using the median wage threshold (two-thirds of the median wage for full-time workers). Reference categories: woman (man), nonwhite (white), marital status (never married), child under six (without a child under six), education (high school diploma), worked in better wages (unemployed), starting and current occupation (professional and technical), firm change (same firm), industry (agriculture and mining).
