The Labour Force Dynamics of the Marginally Attached

Book Description
One of the most important measures of the state of the labour market is the unemployment rate. However, the standard definition of unemployment ignores an important group of people who are not employed but who want to work - the marginally attached workforce. The marginally attached are defined as those who are not employed, want to work but are not actively seeking work and therefore not classified as unemployed. The paper uses longitudinal data from the Survey of Employment and Unemployment Patterns (SEUP) to test whether the marginally attached are behaviourally distinct from the unemployed or those who are not attached to the labour force. We find that the labour force transitions of the marginally attached, on the whole, are between those of the unemployed and the unattached. Another finding is that the length of time over which the labour market dynamics are considered is crucial to our understanding of the labour market dynamics of the marginally attached. An implication of the findings of this paper is that a range of measures of potential labour supply should be considered, and that the measure used should depend on the specific question being asked.
Longitudinal Analysis of Labor Market Data
Author: James J. HeckmanPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521088183
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Longitudinal Analysis of Labor Market Data presents a set of papers by leading scholars on methods for analysing the longitudinal data that is available on numerous topics of interest to social scientists. Because many sources of longitudinal data record labour market phenomena such as unemployment, labour supply, earnings mobility, job turnover and participation in training programmes, all of the papers collected in this volume focus on models of the labour market. The main methodological points, however, are more general and apply to such diverse areas as demography, life science analysis and training evaluation, to name only a few, potential avenues of application. The book contains important methodological contributions to the emerging field of longitudinal analysis and is of interest to a wide range of social scientists.

Labor Statistics Measurement Issues
Author: John HaltiwangerPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226314596
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Rapidly changing technology, the globalization of markets, and the declining role of unions are just some of the factors that have led to dramatic changes in working conditions in the United States. Little attention has been paid to the difficult measurement problems underlying analysis of the labor market. Labor Statistics Measurement Issues helps to fill this gap by exploring key theoretical and practical issues in the measurement of employment, wages, and workplace practices. Some of the chapters in this volume explore the conceptual issues of what is needed, what is known, or what can be learned from existing data, and what needs have not been met by available data sources. Others make innovative uses of existing data to analyze these topics. Also included are papers examining how answers to important questions are affected by alternative measures used and how these can be reconciled. This important and useful book will find a large audience among labor economists and consumers of labor statistics.
Measuring U.S. Labor Market Dynamics

Book Description
This dissertation develops new data and methods for properly measuring U.S. labor market dynamics using large, nationally-representative household surveys. These data are used to assess potential biases arising from time aggregation and from geographic mobility. Time aggregation is estimated using weekly labor force information from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). The degree of time aggregation is large: gross flows estimated from monthly data understate the true number of transitions by 20 percent on average. However, time aggregation creates no meaningful cyclical bias in measured gross flows or hazard rates. Separation hazard rates calculated from the SIPP and the Current Population Survey (CPS) are strongly countercyclical and remain so after adjusting for time aggregation. Using a new database that captures all longitudinal information in the CPS individuals who move can be identified. Comparing the behavior of the entire CPS sample with the subset known not to have moved provides a bound to the bias from geographic mobility. The cyclical bias from geographic mobility is small. At business cycle frequencies, the difference between the separation hazard rate calculated from the entire CPS sample and from a subset that are known not to have moved never exceeds 4 percent. There is little effect of mobility on the job finding hazard rate. The weekly SIPP data identify direct employment-to-employment (EE) transitions. Abstracting from labor force participation, EE transitions account for one-half of all separations from employment. Similar estimates using the CPS are twice as large however the CPS overstates EE transitions because of time aggregation. Separations to a new job are strongly procyclical while separations to unemployment are strongly countercyclical. The combination yields a nearly acyclical total separation rate. The weekly job finding rate is strongly procyclical.
