Abstract	In this new policy report, the fourth in a series examining the impact of human capital in the American labor market from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) Center for Research on Human Capital Education, the authors take a unique perspective on the critical link between human capital and labor market outcomes by expanding the analysis to nonpecuniary outcomes. Using the available cognitive and background data that were collected as part of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Skills (PIAAC), this report explores the links between the skills of American workers and a wide variety of labor market outcomes beyond earnings, including whether a person was employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force at the time of the PIAAC survey. Across each of these categories, in addition to skill levels, key background data were examined. For the employed population, for example, employment intensity, employer-provided training, occupation, and job satisfaction data were analyzed. For those who reported they were unemployed, the duration of unemployment and previous employment experiences was examined, whereas information on previous employment experiences was examined for those who reported that they were not in the labor force at the time of the PIAAC survey. The analysis in this paper reveals that these nonpecuniary labor market outcomes are also tightly bound to respondents' literacy and numeracy skills.
