Abstract
Joshua Pinkston and James Spletzer (2002) "Annual Measures of Job
Creation and Job Destruction Created from Quarterly Microdata."
As firms expand and contract, jobs are created and destroyed. We are
constructing annual job creation and destruction data using quarterly
data on establishments from the Unemployment Insurance (UI) systems of
the 50 states. The goals of this project are to complement the quarterly
tabulations that the BLS currently publishes, while also producing data
that will allow direct comparisons to existing statistics from the
academic literature and to job flow statistics from the European
countries. The longitudinal database resulting from this work will cover
nearly all establishments in all industries and will provide an
excellent source of data for research into labor demand topics such as
employment adjustment and establishment survival.
