Friesen, Jane – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1997
Canadian Displaced Workers Survey data indicate that group advance-notice laws, which apply to large-scale layoffs, reduced the length of displaced workers' joblessness. Individual notice laws had little effect, perhaps because laid-off workers whose plants remain open may expect to be rehired and therefore delay job search. (SK)

Thomas, Jonathan M. – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1997
British survey data support the hypothesis that some studies showing job seekers using public employment agencies (PEAs) have longer unemployment spells may be flawed because they ignore the possibility that PEAs are used only after other search methods fail. Variations in the timing of PEA use should be taken into account in research. (SK)

Antel, John J. – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1991
Analysis of 1979-81 data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Men (2,165 subjects) confirms the hypothesis that workers who quit and become unemployed experience larger wage gains when reemployed than those who move directly to another job. Unemployed movers apparently receive wage gains to compensate for higher job search and mobility…
