Technology and Jobs : Secular Changes and Cyclical Dynamics

Dunne, Timothy; Haltiwanger, John; Troske, Kenneth R. - 2021

In this paper, we exploit plant-level data for U.S. manufacturing for the 1970s and 1980s to explore the connections between changes in technology and the structure of employment and wages. We focus on the nonproduction labor share (measured alternatively by employment and wages) as the variable...

Adjusted Estimates of Worker Flows and Job Openings in Jolts

Davis, Steven J. - 2010

We develop and implement a method to improve estimates of worker flows and job openings based on the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Our method involves reweighting the cross-sectional density of employment growth rates in JOLTS to match the corresponding density in the...

Employer-to-Employer Flows in the United States : Estimates Using Linked Employer-Employee Data

Bjelland, Melissa - 2008

We use administrative data linking workers and firms to study employer-to-employer flows. After discussing how to identify such flows in quarterly data, we investigate their basic empirical patterns. We find that the pace of employer-to-employer flows is high, representing about 4 percent of...

Labor Market Flows in the Cross Section and Over Time

Davis, Steven J. - 2011

Many theoretical models of labor market search imply a tight link between worker flows (hires and separations) and job gains and losses at the employer level. Partly motivated by these theories, we exploit establishment-level data from U.S. sources to study the relationship between worker flows...

On the Driving Forces Behind Cyclical Movement, in Employment and Job Reallocation

Davis, Steven J.; Haltiwanger, John - 2021

We rely on a decomposition of employment changes into job creation and job destruction components - and a novel set of identifying restrictions that this decomposition permits - to develop new evidence about the driving forces behind aggregate fluctuations and the channels through which they...
