Data from the Displaced Worker Survey show that more-educated workers fare better in the job market following displacement. Among otherwise comparable workers, displaced workers who have more schooling spend significantly less time finding a new job and are more likely to return to full-time employment. (Author/JOW)

During 1995 to 1996, the number of workers who lost jobs declined and the proportion that was reemployed rose. Compared with the previous Displaced Worker Survey, displaced workers spent fewer weeks without work and suffered less severe earnings losses. (Author)

Using the longitudinal potential of the Current Population Survey, this report provides information on changes in the labor market status of displaced workers between January 1984 and January 1985. Overall, persons displaced during the 1979-83 period appeared to be generally better off in January 1985 than they had been in January 1984. (CT)

The weak economy of the early 1990s increased the number of displaced workers. Although a disproportionately large share were in the goods-producing industries, displacements were much more widespread across industries than a decade earlier. (Author)

The 1986 survey of displaced workers presents a more positive picture of post-displacement success than that conducted in 1984. Regional distribution also improved slightly. (CH)

Even during a period of rapid employment growth, over four million people were displaced from their jobs in the 1980s. Workers displaced during the latter half of the decade had a much easier time finding new jobs. (Author)

The authors analyze labor market flexibility and adjustment capabilities of Japan and the United States. They examine the job shift to services and trends in wages, productivity, and exchange rates to judge the international competitive position of each country. (CH)

During 1991-92, 2.8 million workers were displaced from long-held jobs. Compared to a similar recessionary period in the early 1980s, there was higher job loss among older workers and those in service and white-collar occupations and more displacement in the Northeast and West. (SK)

The job displacement rate for blacks converged to that for whites from 1982 to 1993. Over the same period, the rate for workers in white-collar occupations, in which blacks were underrepresented, rose, and that of blue-collar workers, in which blacks were overrepresented, fell. (Author/JOW)

Discusses job displacements and layoffs from 1983-87. Reports that, despite more layoffs in the service sector, the displacement picture has improved. (JOW)
