Employment Instability and High Unemployment Rates

Stephen T. Marston

Discussants: Dr. Martin Feldstein and Saul H. Hymans

1976, No. 1

rapidly between jobs, unemployment, and nonparticipation even during
periods of stable economic activity. The flow of workers in and out of unemployment
every month is always far greater than the increase in the
number of the unemployed.
