title: Characteristics of occupational entrants.
abstract: America is a mobile society, and the mobility is evident in the jobs people hold. From one year to the next, almost 1 worker in 5 enters or returns to an occupation that they did not work in 12 months earlier. A worker's age, sex, race, and ethnicity influence the likelihood of changing occupations.
