Richmond Fed's Economic Quarterly Surveys the Labor Market
(firmenpresse) - RICHMOND, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/03/15 -- In the U.S. labor market, unemployed individuals that are actively looking for work are more than three times as likely to become employed as those individuals that are not actively looking for work and are considered to be out of the labor force (OLF). Yet, on average, every month twice as many people make the transition from OLF to employment than do from unemployment to employment. In the latest issue of Economic Quarterly, Richmond Fed economists Andreas Hornstein and Marianna Kudlyak and McGill University professor Fabian Lange observe these labor market transitions and suggest that the standard unemployment rate and its extensions proposed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are both too coarse and too narrow as measures of resource utilization in the labor market. They construct a measure of resource utilization in the labor market, a nonemployment index, that is both comprehensive and accounts for differences in labor force attachment.
