Abstract
labor market as they cycle through various jobs and weather unemployment spells. What systematic patterns in employment histories do we see in U.S. data? Our recent paper (Gregory, Menzio, and Wiczer, 2021) documents the existence of several types of workers who are differently affected by job loss and by the onset of a recession.1 Classifying workers in this way can help resolve several puzzles in economics related to labor market dynamics. We use data from the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program to classify workers by their labor market histories. This dataset consists of a random sample of employment records from 1997 to 2014 Classifying Worker Types in the U.S. Labor Market
劳动力市场,因为他们在不同的工作岗位上循环,经受住了失业的考验。我们在美国的就业数据中看到了什么样的系统性模式?我们最近的论文(Gregory, Menzio, and Wiczer, 2021)记录了几种类型的工人的存在,他们受到失业和经济衰退的不同影响以这种方式对工人进行分类可以帮助解决与劳动力市场动态相关的几个经济学难题。我们使用来自人口普查局的纵向雇主-家庭动态计划的数据,根据劳动力市场历史对工人进行分类。本数据集由1997年至2014年美国劳动力市场分类工人类型的就业记录随机样本组成
