Title: Employed and unemployed job search methods: Australian evidence on search duration, wages and job stability
Abstract: This paper examines the use and impact of job search methods of both unemployed and employed job seekers. Informal job search methods are associated with relativel high level of job exit and shorter search duration. Job exists through the public employment agency (PEA) display positive duration dependence for the unemployed. This may suggest that the PEA is used as a job search method of last resort. Informal job search methods have lower associated duration in search and higher wages than the PEA or answering advertisements. However, informal job search methods are aossociated with a higher turnover level.
