Specific attention is given to the role of unemployment contingent income and the probability of obtaining employment without search. The theory is tested using data from a supplement to the May 1976 Current Population Survey. The empirical findings suggest search theory is important in explaining the behavior of the unemployed: unemployment insurance benefits decrease search time per period, and search time is lower for individuals on layoff-a group that has a positive probability of employment without search effort.
