Popis: We use U.S. matched employer-employee data to study the evolution of earnings, hours, and wages. We distinguish “stayers” who remain with the same employer from workers who transition. Hires from nonemployment receive relatively low pay, and therefore lessen average earnings and wages. This negative effect of entrants from nonemployment is offset by growth from stayers, employer-to-employer transitions, and other separations from low-paying jobs. Stayers drive aggregate changes in earnings and wages.
