Abstract

During 1993-95, 4 million workers were displaced from their jobs, of which 775,000 (19 percent) were nonmetro workers. Although the displacement rate was similar for nonmetro and metro workers, nonmetro displaced workers were less likely to be unemployed at the survey date, found a new job faster, and had less earnings loss on the new job than did metro displaced workers. The nonmetro displaced worker was likely to be male, have at most a high school diploma, and be working as an operator, fabricator, or laborer.
