Popis:	The purpose of this study is to examine the employment mobility patterns of male and female agricultural graduates. A 30% random sample (n = 5,049) was selected among agricultural students who had attended 1862 southern land-grant universities during 1977. A mail survey conducted with agricultural alumni in 1987 resulted in 2,049 respondents. Findings indicated that female graduates were less likely than male graduates to have entered agricultural jobs after completing college and to have received smaller salaries for comparable employment. Almost one-quarter of the women became homemakers, employed part-time, or unemployed, producing a net loss of agricultural human capital.
