Abstract	An intriguing finding in the literature on the role of education in the labor market concerns workers who have acquired either more or less education that they say their jobs require. Contrary to predictions from a rigid, stuctural view of jobs, several authors have found that the labor market rewards workers for having completed more schooling than their jobs require and penalize workers who have 'too little' schooling. We investigate whether the structural changes in the labor market in the United States over the 1970s and 1980s ... affected the rewards and penalties associated with having too much or too little schooling for a job. We the examine whether the same rewards and penalties ... observed in the US apply in Germany, a country with a much more stuctured educational system and labor market. We test explicitly for differences over time in the US and at a point in time between the US and Germany. We find, consistent with a universalistic view of labor markets, more similarities across countries than over time. (DIPF/orig.)
