Abstract

Workers' reports of employer size are highly correlated with true values; age of business and industry are reported with reasonable reliability. Larger employers offer more fringe benefits and more formalized personnel systems, but are less likely to match outside offers. Established employers are seen as more stable, and their non-union workers are less likely to support unionization. Differences in work environment by industry are moderately important.
