Interregional Labor Mobility

Abstract This study on interregional labor mobility based on detailed observation of employment insurance DB came to the following conclusions. First, the logit analysis using interregional mobility as a dependent variable revealed that wage level and large corporate employment made a significant impact on the decision to move to another region, and by industry and occupation, manufacturing industry and production-related jobs showed the highest mobility respectively. The agricultural12 sector, although a smaller sample was drawn, showed higher mobility than the manufacturing sector, which bears significant policy implications in light of the opening of local agricultural sector. Logit analysis indicated that those resigned from large corporate in metropolitan areas had a high possibility of re-employment, whereas in small cities and rural areas, 'large corporate premium' did not exist in the job market. By industry, manufacturing and utility sectors showed strong labor turnover in metropolitan areas
