      ab: A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between men's marital status and duration of periods of unemployment. Subjects were 2,851 white men from Washington state who were followed from approximately age 16-18 to approximately age 29-31. Findings suggest that men's marital status has a negative and direct casual impact on duration of unemployment: If they become unemployed, married men spend significantly less time without a job than single men who become unemployed; and in any one month, married men are between 50 percent and 100 percent more likely to enter employment than single men.
