Abstract
Through the use of a longitudinal data set, we determine those factors that are important to off‐farm labor market entry and compare them with factors affecting off‐farm labor market exiting. The model of labor market entry and exit takes into account the effects of changes in key economic variables over a four‐year period. The data are for married farm women in Wisconsin who must make labor allocation decisions among home production, farm production, and off‐farm employment. These decisions have important implications for the well‐being of the families involved (who have been increasing in number) and for their communities.
