Abstract

Employment growth and inter-industry job reallocation: spatial patterns and relatedness. Regional Studies. The nature of employment reallocation between industries is assessed using rich register data for the Netherlands. It is found that employment decline in some industries is countered, in a communicating vessels fashion, by employment growth in other industries, which is primarily driven by the availability of released skilled labour. These labour demand interactions are predominantly local and stronger between related industries. In addition, the inter-industry labour reallocation has a distinct geographical character in which the location of employment creation depends primarily on the residential location of the released employees rather than on the location of the job destruction.
