Abstract

Refutes the claim of "A Nation at Risk" that preparation in science, mathematics, and language arts increases economic benefits. Analyzes the data from the Youth Cohort of the "National Longitudinal Survey" (NLS) from 1979 to 1986. Finds that more science and math does not enhance economic benefits for noncollege bound males.
