| P70-27 | Job Creation During the Late 1980's: Dynamic Aspects of Employment Growth
Provides statistics by which the quality of jobs created in the late 1980's might be measured. Although the report draws no comprehensive conclusions, it supplies data (including pay) on "job accessions," for instance, which may provide some insights into the quality of these new jobs. A job accession takes place when a person takes a job. The report notes the fact and the circumstances of these accessions based on survey results over a two year period. This report also indicates some characteristics of the person who takes the job. Examples of these characteristics include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, and family income. The report also shows the kind of job taken. For instance, it shows the trade or industry group; the nature of the job, or occupation; and the pay received. The report points out the limitations of these job accessions as a precise measure of newly created jobs. The person may have merely switched between two jobs already existing. Or the person may have merely returned to an existing job after a layoff. However, a study of job accessions permits perspectives not available before. Earlier studies were designed to contrast the quality of the "stock" (or total number) of jobs held a specific times. The results showed net changes but ignored the dynamism of the job market in between those times. An individual, for example, might have had several jobs in between the two surveys.
