Abstract: This study explored the gender-based differences in high school employment experiences and possible contributors to those differences, such as parental support for employment, reasons for working or not working, aspirations, and six work-related attitudes. It was expected that there would be differences by gender in employment status, time of beginning employment, weekly hours worked, average pay, parental support for employment, current job, reasons for working or not working, occupational aspirations, and work-related attitudes. Differences in the work-related attitudes were also anticipated between those who had worked and those who had not, as well as between those who worked under 20 hours weekly and those who worked 20 or more hours a week.
