Sumario:The writer examines the recent experience of unemployment and reemployment in the United States, using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys of displaced employees. As the economy grew in the mid-1990s, job loss declined and the rate of reemployment increased. After the 1990–1991 recession, labor market conditions were unusually sluggish compared to previous recoveries. As economic activity speeded up in 1993 and 1994, however, the job market improved, with the result that both the level and risk of job displacement declined in the mid-1990s.
