Title: Using Worker Flows in the Analysis of the Firm
Author(s): Julia Lane*+
Companies: The Urban Institute
Address: 2100 M St. NW, Washington, DC, 20037,
Keywords: Firm worker flows ; Matched employer-employee data
Abstract:

We use a new data source with information on workers and firms and use worker flow information to identify successor/predecessor firms--particularly focusing on temporary help firms. We identify four categories of linkages: 1) Predecessor firm dies, more than five workers and more than 80% of predecessor's employment moves to successor; 2) Predecessor firm dies, and more than five workers but less than 80% of predecessor's employment moves to successor; 3) Predecessor firm lives, more than five workers and more than 80% of predecessor's employment moves to successor; 4) Predecessor firm lives, and more than five workers but less than 80% of predecessor's employment moves to successor.
