blog writing #ged's signaling value in the labor market

Tyler, Murnane, and Willett(2000) research the role of (General Education Development) GED in labor market signaling. They analyze whether GED correlates with the wages and salaries earned in the labor market. In their research, they categorize the workers as either white and non-Hispanics, the majority, and the minority, which is made up of Hispanics, African Americans, and others. A GED is a high school credential equivalent that is a second chance for high school dropouts (Tyler, Murnane, & Willett,2000). The variation will see the signaling value of GED of the stringency in different states. An experiment will determine whether those who attain identical GED scores but with different status signals are similar.
