Abstract

. The purpose of our study is to examine the economic and social correlates of re‐employment following job displacement. Our data are taken from 247 workers who were displaced as a result of plant closures in Ontario (Canada). Human capital did not affect re‐employment. Economic need positively affected re‐employment. Discrimination negatively affected re‐employment, and social networks positively affected re‐employment. Our conclusion falls squarely within the field of economic sociology, in that an economic outcome can have both an economic and a sociological explanation.
