Job Search and Unionized Employment Economic Inquiry 21,3 (July 1983): 412-430. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1465-7295.2008.00159.x/abstract Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Western Economic Association International Keyword(s): Job Search; Unemployment; Unions; Wages; Wages, Reservation This study examines the relationship between job search and obtaining a union job. The findings indicate that the presence of a union-nonunion wage differential causes workers to seek high paying union jobs. The results further show that finding a union job is negatively related to weeks of unemployed search, and positively related to a job seeker's other family income, other things equal. In other words, a higher reservation wage increases the likelihood of obtaining unionized employment. |
