This study is aimed at estimating the pattern and magnitude of worker and job reallocation, in both the long and the short run, as part of the dynamics of the market economy. It addresses such questions as: Have there been shifts in the relative importance of different sectors and industries? What effects do the exit and entry rates of plants have on the release and hiring of labour? How extensive is the employment expansion and contraction of continuing firms? How important is firm size in the process of job gain and job loss? How significant are worker separations? What is the relationship between form-related job turnover and worker separations? Do `trade-sensitive' industries experience less or more employment change than other industries?.
