| dc.description | We determine the effect of individual social capital on income in the United States. We use data from the General Social Survey and separate individuals into three different occupation groups: occupations who require continual usage of social capital, such as carpenters and plumbers; occupations with one time usage of social capital, such finding the job; and farming jobs. We find that social capital has a positive effect on all types of incomes, though only find significant results for \desk jobs", with a 20% effect of social capital on income. This number is consistent with findings for other countries with different types of social capital mechanisms. | |
