Matching Workers and Jobs: Cyclical Fluctuations in Match Quality Journal of Labor Economics 13,2 (April 1995): 335-350. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2535107 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Business Cycles; Job Patterns; Job Tenure; Labor Market Demographics; Wages Using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data on tenure and wages, this article analyzes the extent to which the level of job mismatching varies over the business cycle and how it is dealt with by the labor market. I find significant cyclical variation in job match quality and an internalization of the variation by the labor market through wages. Mismatching occurs more during recessions but is primarily captured in starting wages. The evidence suggests the cyclical phenomenon is one of general mismatching rather than an increased number of stopgap jobs during recessions. |
