U.S. labor markets became much less fluid in recent decades — workers and jobs now move between employers at a much slower pace. This loss of fluidity cuts across all 50 states, every major industry, and every demographic group defined by age, education and gender. Why did this loss of fluidity occur? What are the implications for employment, human capital, wages and productivity?

The Asian Bureau of Finance and Economic Research (ABFER) in collaboration with The Chicago Economics Society (CES), would like to invite you to the Industry Outreach Dialogue: "Labor Market Fluidity and U.S. Economic Performance" featuring Professor Steven J. Davis The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
