| Abstract: | Using information from the personnel files of a South African clothing firm, the author explores the in- and outflow of weekly-paid workers. These employees form a separate labour market within the company. Data was available concerning both the productivity of current workers, and the characteristics of rejected applicants and fired workers. This makes it possible to identify the characteristics which are screened out at entry and the characteristics that influence productivity. |
