Reassessing Cyclical Changes in Workers' Labor Market Status
This analysis, using Current Population Survey data, yields statistically compelling evidence that cyclical variations in gross flows of U.S. workers-that is, variations by business cycle phase in the number of workers transitioning from one labor market state to another each month-were substantially smaller in 1986-2005 than in 1968-86. The authors identify six types of workers who would be expected to contribute to cyclical variations in these …

Work Relief and the Labor Force Participation of Married Women in 1940
Economic analysis of the labor supply of married women has long emphasized the impact of the unemployment of husbands-the added worker effect. This article re-examines the magnitude of the added worker effect in the waning years of the Great Depression. Previous studies of the labor supply of married women during this period failed to take account of various institutional features of New Deal work relief programs, which reduced the size of the ad…
The Minimum Wage and the Poor
The belief that minimum-wage legislation helps the working poor is one reason for its continued popular support. The authors track the household incomes of low-wage workers and find that a radical transformation has occurred in the half century since the passage of the original minimum-wage law. Today most low-wage workers live in households well above the poverty line. Hence, those living in poverty will get only about 11 percent of the gains fr…
Discouraged Workers and Economic Fluctuations
This article examines recent trends and cyclical changes in the number of discouraged workers and other persons outside the labor force who report wanting regular jobs. Both the incidence of discouragement and its sensitivity to labor market conditions vary widely across demographic groups. The number of persons discouraged for job-market reasons has shown marked cyclical swings, but not the number discouraged for personal reasons. The findings i…
The Economics of Labor Force Participation
The Economics of Labor Force Participation
This comprehensive and detailed analysis of the factors that determine who is in the labor force in the United States is equally interesting for the light it sheds on what people are not working or seeking work-and why they are not. The effects on labor force participation rates of both individual characteristics (e.g. age, marital status, color, educational attainment) and labor market conditions (unemployment, earnings, industry mix) are analyz…

The Work Experience of Men in the Labor Force
This study focuses upon the work experience of labor-force members, as distinguished from labor-force participation rates, unemployment, and hours of work. It examines such problems as occupational differences in amount of work experience and the relationship of work experience to unemployment and to nonparticipation in the labor force. Among the study's principal findings are (1) that except among production-worker occupations in manufacturing, …
Employer Concentration in Local Labor Markets
Hours of Work in the United States
The Backward-Sloping Supply Curve
Comments on Harold Vatter's argument that neglected influences on hours of work have impaired the conceptual validity of the short-run, backward-sloping supply curve of labor. Use of overtime rates; Vatter's contention that the short run market supply curve of labor will rise to the right as the offered overtime wage rises. (Abstract copyright EBSCO.)
