Abstract
Sportive activity contributes to the development of human capital and forms the infrastructure of a qualified labor by enabling the training of physically and mentally healthy generations. The recent studies have shown that there exists a correlation between sport participation rate and labor market outcomes. This article examines the relationshipbetween sport participation rateof high school teenagers, employment rate and wage level in the USA for the period of 1971-2016. In this study, the correlation between the variables was surveyed by means of Johansen cointegration test and error correction model, and the positive correlation was identified between wage level variable and sport participation rate in the long run.
