This paper examines the time path of wage demands of the unemployed as a test of some of the implications of the search models. The results suggest that individuals do learn about the distribution of wages, and that they learn in an appropriate and systematic way. Information about the distribution of wages is important and can be obtained without necessarily learning about the distribution of vacancies.
