While economists have studied numerous strategies for unemployed persons to increase their chances of finding employment through activities such as acquiring additional training or education, there is little empirical literature to date on the extent to which volunteering can serve to maximize one's chances of finding employment.

The results of this study suggest a statistically significant and stable association between volunteering and employment.
