The industrial structure of job displacement, 1979-89.

From: Monthly Labor Review | Date: September 1, 1992| Author: | Copyright information

During the 1980's, the incidence of job displacement increased markedly in the services and retail trade sectors, in sharp contrast to earlier periods, when manufacturing industries were the primary source of this form of job loss

Data on displaced workers show that there were major shifts among industries in the relative incidence of job loss due to displacement during the 1980's. This article examines changing industrial patterns of job displacement over the decade, with special emphasis on the behavior of levels, shares, and rates of job displacements. Most intriguing are ...
