Abstract

Presentamos la evolución de ocho variables del mercado laboral a lo largo del ciclo económico para distintas ciudades y grupos demográficos. Las fechas utilizadas para identificar las fases de recesión fueron tomadas de Alfonso et al. (2013) y de Jaulín (2013). La evidencia sugiere que la participación laboral tiende a ser acíclica, mientras que la tasa de ocupación es procíclica. Sin ambigüedades, en las recesiones el desempleo aumenta. Los cesantes aumentan en momentos de crisis; es decir, los despidos y la reinserción al mercado parecen ser los eventos más regulares durante los períodos de contracción económica. El salario medio por hora junto con las horas normalmente trabajadas son procíclicas en el período posterior a 2008.
