Data Appendix Reading the Tables. The tables on the following pages display the percentages of workers in different labor market states, out-of-labor-force (OLF), unemployed (U), or employed in one of the 22 major occupational groups. On the rows, the current labor market status (t). On the columns, the labor market status in the following month (t + 1). Totals sum up to 1 by row, so flows between two statuses are expressed in percentage of the stock of people in any of the labor market statuses at t. For example, in table 1, row 3, columns 3, 4, 5, etc. imply that 92.27% of those who were employed as Managers in any given month will be employed as Managers in the following month, while 0.56% will be employed in Finance, 0.33% in Computer occupations, 0.12% in Engineering, etc. Caveats. All numbers for the agricultural sector should be taken with a grain of salt because of small underlying sample size. Similarly, flows into “Architecture and Engineering” and “Math and Computer” occupations from other occupations are typically very small, reflecting the specialized nature of the skills used in these sectors. Any change over time in these flows may look large in percentage points, but should be discounted because of measurement error from a very small base. Technical note. While the dates of the beginning and end of the Great Recession are set by the NBER, dating the expansion and the Covid recession is less straightforward. I used 2016-17 as “typical” expansion years (the unemployment rate was low, but not at its minimum yet, and the economy was not as rattled by trade frictions as it was in 2018 and 2019). For the 2020 recession, I used all the months available (February through November). While the fluctuations in the unemployment rate were rather large within this window, I believe that using the whole sample — vis-a-vis, say, splitting it into February to April and May to November — helps smooth out known measurement error issues due to exceptional non-response rates in the first months of the pandemic.
