| Abstract: | Turnover of workers and jobs in Danish manufacturing from 1980 to 1991 is mapped using information on all individual manufacturing plants. The relation btw. worker flows and job flows are examined. Separations from and hires to existing jobs are studied in detail. The results reveal large heterogeneity among workers as well as plants, even adjusting for the level of job flows. The cyclical properties of worker reallocation point to worker flow dynamics being driven by workers quitting in upturns to find better jobs, rather than by plants upgrading the labour force in recessions. |
