Working for pay is the reality for many undergraduate students. Higher rates and intensity of employment among students from underserved backgrounds and those attending under-resourced institutions suggest employment during college reinforces inequity in higher education opportunity and outcomes. Compared with higher-income students, students from lower-income families work more hours and are more likely to experience negative consequences from working. More must be done to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits of working, especially for students from low-income families, Black, Hispanic, American Indian/Native American, and first-generation students, and independent single parents, as well as students attending community colleges and institutions with high shares of low-income and underserved groups of students.
