Research suggests that the labor market can pose challenges for young people, making it difficult for high school students to gain early work experience. There is consensus, however, on the positive influence of early employment. Research has consistently suggested that early employment experience is critical for highschool students to explore their interests, identify a pathway to a career, develop real-world skills, and enhance employability. It is important for students, parents, school leaders, and other stakeholders to understand better how gaining early work experience can benefit students in both the short and long run.  \nWhat we studied and why  \nFor decades, research shows that part-time jobs for high school students are beneficial as long as the number of hours worked per week stays appropriate (Keister & Hall, 2010) . For instance,  \n• Steady work during high school may foster the development of time management skills for both career and college (Motimer, 2010);  \n• High school jobs can help youth to build the basic skills needed to enter the workforce and many other “LifeReady” skills, particularly for those youth who are less interested in college (Baum &  Ruhm, 2014; Motimer, 2010; NSBA, 2019);  \n• And, for a young adult in high school, 20 hours per week of part-time work in their senior year resulted in annual earnings that were 20 percent higher 6-9 years after graduation, as compared to their fellow students who didn’t work (Ruhm & Baum, 2014) .  \nAlthough some studies show that students who worked 20 or fewer hours per week during the school year were more likely to attend college (Rothstein, 2001), it is unclear whether high school employment has either short-or long-term effects on grades in academic courses or that the grades obtained in these courses influence employment activities (Warren, LePore, & Mare, 2000) . The Center for Public Education (CPE), a research branch of the National School Boards Association (NSBA), explored the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97) and investigated the relationship between students’employment experiences and their achievements.  \n~~ 1 ~~  \nCopyright © 2020 National School Boards Association.
