Abstract: Making use of the Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS), I study job mobility in the USA in 1975-2017. I document a pronounced increase in job mobility from the 1970s to the 1990s, i.e., the annual share of continuously employed job-to-job movers rises from 5.9 percent of the labor force in 1975-1979 to 8.8 percent in 1995-1999. Job mobility exhibits a downward trend since the turn of the millennium. Furthermore, job mobility has an unconditional correlation of-0.86 with the unemployment rate at business-cycle frequencies, varying by around three percentage points over the business cycle.
