This brief report presents data on employment and postsecondary persistence and attainment of higher education students, based on data from the 1990 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study, Second Follow-up. Major findings include: (1) five years after initial enrollment, 89 percent of students had worked at some time while enrolled, with 75 percent working part time and 15 percent working full time; (2) students enrolled at four-year institutions were likely to work fewer hours than students who attended public two-year or for-profit institutions; (3) only 31 percent of students who worked full time had attained a degree or were still enrolled five years after initial enrollment, compared to 79 percent of students who worked 1-15 hours per week; (4) students who worked full time were more likely to attend school exclusively part time and part time students were less likely to persist and attain a degree five years after initial entry. Tables and graphs detail data on: percentage of 1989 beginning postsecondary students, by average hours worked per week while enrolled and control and type of first institution; and percentage of 1989-90 beginning postsecondary students who attained a degree or were still enrolled by spring 1994, by control and type of first institution and average hours worked per week.
