Abstract

Establishment data on labor turnover and household data on job movement and labor market exit are used to distinguish between male and female quitting to exit the labor force and quitting to move to another job. Quitting to exit is larger for females and quitting to move to another job is larger for males. Total female quitting is usually larger than male quitting, while male quitting is more variable. For both sexes, age is nonmonotonically related to the level of quits, and higher earnings decrease the level of quits. The relationships of quit level and variability to age and earnings are different between men and women.
