Abstract

This chapter is empirical and descriptive rather than theoretical. It examines the CPS unemployment experience data, which gives the number of weeks of unemployment and the number of spells of unemployment experienced by a sample of people in a year. This chapter focuses on both the entry rate or frequency (probability of entering) and the exit rate or duration (probability of exiting) of unemployment spells, for it is on both the entry and exit rates that the level and distribution of unemployment depends. The conclusion is that entry rates and differences in entry rates across people are of primary importance in explaining unemployment experience.
