Abstract:
“Recessions and booms give rise to distinctly different patterns of career changing among unemployed workers. Are downturns the times that unemployed workers, by necessity, more often start new careers; or do they change careers more often in expansions, by opportunity? Some theories indicate one answer, other theories the opposite answer.
