Book Description
This paper provides a description and detailed comparison of new data series on job creation and job destruction, constructed using establishment-level data sets, for the United States and Canada. The paper begins with a description of the data sets used and discussion of measurement issues related to job flows. It then examines and compares time-series fluctuations of job creation and destruction in the two countries and disaggregates average annual rates of job creation and destructed by two-digit industry. The subsequent section of the paper develops a simple model of the dynamics of job creation and destruction in order to provide structure for interpreting the similarities and differences in the behavior of job flows in Canada and the United States. The paper ends with basic estimates of the relative importance of country, industry, and year effects.

Book Description
This paper uses the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Programme data base to analyse the net creation of jobs, by industry. The net number of jobs gained or lost in a year is a measure of the volatility of an industry and that volatility can be examined in the light of technological change, and human resources development.

Book Description
From 1989-96, full-time paid (wage and salary) employment accounted for most of the net jobs created in the U.S., whereas in Canada self-employment accounted for the majority of the job creation and part-time paid employment also accounted for a substantial portion of the gain. In both countries, only the services sector produced full-time jobs. For Canada, the growth of self-employment is not inconsistent with the notion of increased contracting out. Information had previously been lacking but new data show that contingent workers were about 5 percent of all workers in the U.S. in 1995, and about 9 percent of paid employees were in contingent work in Canada in 1997. The paper also discusses gross job creation and gross job destruction, where a major gap has been the lack of government data for the services sector for the U.S. but information is being developed. The paper points to some continuing data gaps.

Book Description
This paper uses job turnover data to compare how job creation, job destruction and net job change differ for small and large establishments in the Canadian manufacturing sector. It uses several different techniques to correct for the regression-to-the-mean problem that, it has been suggested, might incorrectly lead to the conclusion that small establishments create a disproportionate number of new jobs. It finds that net job creation for smaller establishments is greater than that of large establishments after such changes are made. The paper also compares the importance of small and large establishments in the manufacturing sectors of Canada and the United States. The Canadian manufacturing sector is shown to have both a larger proportion of employment in smaller establishments but also to have a small establishment sector that is growing in importance relative to that of the United States.

Book Description
This volume, the first in a new series by the National Bureau of Economic Research that compares labor markets in different countries, examines social and labor market policies in Canada and the United States during the 1980s. It shows that subtle differences in unemployment compensation, unionization, immigration policies, and income maintenance programs have significantly affected economic outcomes in the two countries. For example: -Canada's social safety net, more generous than the American one, produced markedly lower poverty rates in the 1980s. -Canada saw a smaller increase in earnings inequality than the United States did, in part because of the strength of Canadian unions, which have twice the participation that U.S. unions do. -Canada's unemployment figures were much higher than those in the United States, not because the Canadian economy failed to create jobs but because a higher percentage of nonworking time was reported as unemployment. These disparities have become noteworthy as policy makers cite the experiences of the other country to support or oppose particular initiatives.

Book Description
Over the past decade, the United States has been very successful atcreating jobs. Some other industrial countries have clearly lagged behind. But what is the reason why some countries are more successful than others at creating employment? Are there common factors that explainjob creation? This paper presents the findings of a new IMF study that has systematically analyzed job creation over the past two decades in theindustrial countries, focusing particularly on differences within Europe.
