“…Job changing may also benefit the individual if in times of low unemployment he can maximize the return from his labour by taking short-term employment that is highly paid because of some urgency or insecurity. Yet weighed against these benefits are the possibilities both of distress to the young worker and of wasted ability or ill-used training, as well as suggested relationships between persistent job changing and unemployment (Baxter, 1975), delinquency (Gibbs, 1955), psychiatric illness (Evans & Moloney, 1974), family problems (Tonge, James & Hillam, 1975) and entry to a secondary, low paid, labour market (Bosanquet & Doeringer, 1973).…”

Persistent job changers amongst early school leavers in the National Survey have been followed up in three studies. In the first, young people particularly at risk of not settling at work are identified from information available to school teachers and careers officers. In the second, the effects of job changing on job satisfaction, use of abilities, pay and unemployment are assessed, and persistent job changers found to be at no real disadvantage. Finally, the relationships between job changing and social and psychiatric problems are explored, with frequent job changing in the early years being shown to be an indicator of later personal problems. These findings, and their implications, are discussed in the context of alternative hypotheses for the relationship between job changing and later problems. It is concluded that although persistent job changing in the early years at work may indicate problems of personal adjustment, there is no evidence that it leads, by the mid‐twenties, to occupational problems or 10 a secondary, low paid, labour market.

“…These type of jobs have been occupied throughout the long boom by Gastarbeitern in Western Europe, blacks in South Africa, migrants from the 'new Commonwealth' in the U.K., coloured people in the U.S.A., and Pacific Islanders in New Zealand (Castles & Kosack 1973 quet & Doeringer 1973;Piore 1979;Gibson 1983). This was not, however, the site of incorporation for all migrants to Sydney who had manufacturing jobs.…”
