Abstract

An analysis of wage adjustments for hourly employees in the mid-1980s, finding that workers whose wages change often are likely to see larger fluctuations and those whose wages change infrequently tend to see smaller movements, and concluding that wage flexibility is in fact pervasive in the U.S. economy.
