Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Root and Park examine the plight of workers displaced from two paper mills and their paths to reemployment, retirement decisions, and the personal struggles they faced as a result of their dislocations. They provide insightful, personal portraits of workers that are representative of the hundreds who lost their jobs as a result of two mill closings—one in Sartell, Minnesota, and the other in Bucksport, Maine. In addition, the authors describe the types of assistance that were offered to the workers displaced by the mill closings, dedicate a chapter each to the plights of female workers and of spouses who were both displaced by the closings, discuss the importance of community when economic displacement occurs, compare the experience of a mill closing in Canada with the Maine and Minnesota closings, and conclude with ways that society can be more proactive in assisting workers who suffer job displacement and the economic and psychological impacts that so often occur as a result. Overall, this book adds a human perspective to the problems facing dislocated workers, not only in the shrinking paper industry but also in other contracting industries in the United States.

Book excerpt: "What is the magnitude of earnings losses that Canadian workers suffer several years after being displaced? The answer to this question is currently unknown. Several of the previous studies are based on U.S. data and have shown that, even five years after displacement, displaced workers still suffer substantial earnings losses. However, most of the evidence offered is based either on a sub-sample of high-tenure workers in a specific region or on relatively small samples drawn from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Furthermore, the evidence presented is not recent since it covers either the early to mid-1980s or the early 1990s. Canadian studies of worker displacement have compared pre-displacement wages to wages observed shortly after displacement but have been unable to quantify the magnitude of the earnings losses suffered several years after displacement. The goal of this paper is to fill this gap and to quantify the earnings losses experienced up to five years after displacement by Canadian workers who lost their job during the late 1980s and the 1990s as a result of firm closures or mass layoffs. To do so, we take advantage of Statistics Canada's Longitudinal Worker File, a unique administrative data set that tracks a large (10%) sample of Canadian workers throughout the 1983 to 2002 period."--Unedited text from document.

Download or read book Mortality Mass layoffs and Career Outcomes written by Daniel Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses administrative data on quarterly employment and earnings matched to death records to estimate the effects of job displacement on mortality. We find that job displacement leads to a 15-20% increase in death rates during the following 20 years. If such increases were sustained beyond this period, they would imply a loss in life expectancy of about 1.5 years for a worker displaced at age 40. These results are robust to extensive controls for sorting and selection, and are consistent with estimates of the effects of job loss on mortality pooling displaced workers and stayers that are not affected by selective job displacement. To examine the channels through which mass layoffs raise mortality, we exploit the panel nature of our data -- covering over 15 years of earnings -- to analyze the correlation of long-run career outcomes, such as the mean and standard deviation of earnings, with mortality at the individual and group level, something not possible with typical data sets. Our findings suggest that factors correlated with a decrease in mean earnings and a rise in standard deviation of earnings have the potential to explain an important fraction of the effect of a job displacement on mortality.

Book excerpt: Mass layoffs give rise to groups of unemployed workers who possess similar characteristics and therefore may learn from one another's experience searching for a new job. Two factors lead them to be too selective in the job offers that they accept. The first is an information externality: searchers fail to take into account the value of their experience to others. The second is an incentive to free ride: each worker would like others to experiment and reveal information concerning productive jobs. Together these forces imply that in equilibrium the natural rate of unemployment is too high.
