Quarterly worker flows between Employment, Unemployment, and Non in the Labor Force. Source: Current Population Survey. Details behind the construction of these data can be found in "New Data on Worker Flows During Business Cycles", New England Economic Review, by Hoyt Bleakley, Ann Ferris and Jeffrey Fuhrer, July/August 1999. Flows are expressed as percentage of the working-age population. Quarterly numbers are averages (not sums) of the monthly flows. When months are missing, the average is computed by using the nonmissing data.
