Job Stability in the United States
利用当前人口调查数据,研究美国劳动力市场中工作保留率的时间变化,发现整体就业稳定性保持稳定,但部分相对工资下降群体的工作稳定性有所下降。
Two key attributes of a job are its wage and its duration. Much has been made of changes in the wage distribution in the 1980s but little attention has been given to job durations since Robert E. Hall (1972, 1982). The authors fill this void by examining the temporal evolution of job retention rates in U.S. labor markets using data assembled from the sequence of Current Population Survey job tenure supplements. There have been relative declines in job stability for some of the groups that experienced the sharpest declines in relative wages. However, the authors find that aggregate job retention rates have remained stable. Copyright 1997 by University of Chicago Press.
