Morehouse, Ward; Dembo, David – 1988
In September 1988, 13.1 million people in the United States wanted jobs, a jobless rate more than twice the official unemployment rate.

Also important is the phenomenon of the…

Valletta, Robert G. – Journal of Human Resources, 1991
Data from the Displaced Worker Survey found that, for men, the duration of joblessness increases with the length of job tenure (15 years or more), consistent with the hypothesis that male workers base reservation wages on factors such as accumulated human capital that raise current wages more than potential wage offers. (SK)
