The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Parental transfers, student achievement, and the labor supply of college students (2012, background): “Of the high school studies, Ruhm (1995, 1997) and Tyler (2003) find that employment while in high school has a negative effect on both the number of years of schooling completed and 12th grade math achievement.”
Leaving Boys Behind (2015, background): “To the extent that negative effects of working during school are expected for a wide range of high school students (Tyler, 2003; Rothstein, 2007), the time trends should prevent boys from falling behind in high school grades.”
The Effects of High Stakes High School Achievement Awards: Evidence from a Randomized Trial (2009, unknown): “Liquidity constraints also surface in the literature on market work and the time students devote to their studies (e.g., John H. Tyler, 2003; Todd R. Stinebrickner, and Ralph Stinebrickner, 2003).”
DOES STUDENT WORK REALLY AFFECT EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES? A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE (2018, unknown): “…on educational attainment are local labour market conditions (Beffy, Fougère, & Maurel, 2010; Dustmann & van Soest, 2007; Lee & Orazem, 2010; Rothstein, 2007) and interstate variation in prevailing labour laws (Apel, Bushway, Paternoster, Brame, & Sweeten, 2008; Lee & Orazem, 2010; Tyler, 2003).”
