Working Before, During, and After Beginning at a Public 2-Year Institution: Labor Market Experiences of Community College Students

Title:	Working Before, During, and After Beginning at a Public 2-Year Institution: Labor Market Experiences of Community College Students
Description:	This Statistics in Brief report describes the employment of students attending public 2-year institutions before they enrolled in postsecondary education for the first time, as well as while they were enrolled in their first year. The report also examines how employment is related to these students’ postsecondary experiences and employment outcomes after exiting postsecondary education. The analyses use data from the 2012/14 Beginning Postsecondary Student Longitudinal Study (BPS:12/14), a nationally representative study of first-time postsecondary students who were interviewed up to 3 years after they began postsecondary education.
