Abstract

Which former coworkers help displaced workers find jobs? We answer this question by studying occupational similarity in job finding networks. Using matched employer–employee data from Hungary, this paper relates the unemployment duration of displaced workers to the employment rate within their former coworker networks. We find that only coworkers from the same narrow occupation are helpful in job finding, while those from different occupations are not. This effect lasts for a few months after displacement and is primarily driven by former coworkers in occupations requiring at most a primary level of education.
同事网络和职业在求职中的作用
哪些前同事帮助失业工人找到工作?我们通过研究求职网络中的职业相似性来回答这个问题。使用匹配的雇主-雇员数据从匈牙利,本文将失业工人的失业持续时间与其前同事网络中的就业率联系起来。我们发现只有来自同一狭窄职业的同事对求职有帮助,而来自不同职业的同事则没有。这种影响在流离失所后持续几个月,主要是由从事最多只需要初级教育水平的职业的前同事造成的。
