Abstract: | Using a longitudinal research design, the authors investigate the impact of the relative growth or decline of a job seeker's predisplaced industry on the use of personal contacts in the job search process. They also examine the effect of a job seeker's network of important job search outcomes, including occupational status and salary following reemployment. |
