State Level Job-to-Job Flows: Data for Assessing Worker Relocations and Job Transitions
About
New statistics on Job-to-Job (J2J) Flows at the state level released by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) provide a comprehensive look at the reallocation of workers across different sectors of the U.S. economy at the state and national level.
Workers often build their careers through job-hopping and the flows between jobs are a primary means by which workers move up their career ladders. Flows of workers across employers, industries, and labor markers are subsequently quite large — about half of hires and separations in 2000 were job-to-job flows.
About Job-to-Job Flow Data
J2J data provides new insights on job churning and worker relocation patterns across the economy. The data provides information on transitions between jobs as well as transitions from jobs to non-employment, or from non-employment to jobs.
Rates and counts of transitions are tabulated by industry, state, firm age and size, and demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, race, ethnicity and education.
