在美国，高等教育职业证书很少被用作劳动力成果研究中教育程度的衡量标准。当它们是，它们通常被合并到一个类别，被认为没有“价值”的副学士学位。这篇文章表明，中学后职业证书对早期劳动力结果有不同的影响。因此，一些证书在劳动力中比副学士学位更有价值，而且它们对年轻男性和女性的影响往往不同。结果表明，社会学家忽视了对美国年轻人的职业生涯做出重大贡献的证书，需要更系统的数据收集和分析。
Postsecondary vocational credentials are seldom used as measures of educational attainment in studies of laborforce outcomes in the United States. When they are, they are usually combined into a single category that is thought to have less "value" than an associate's degree. This article shows that postsecondary vocational credentials have varied effects on early laborforce outcomes. Thus, some credentials have greater value in the laborforce than an associate's degree, and their effects often differfor young men and women. The results suggest that sociologists are overlooking credentials that make major contributions to the careers of young Americans and that more systematic data collection and analysis are needed.
