3 Unemployment rate in the U.K. 9 8 Unemployment Rate increased to above 8% during the recession remained persistently high Patterson-Şahin-Topa-Violante, Mismatch Unemployment in the U.K. p. 2 /41

5 The mismatch hypothesis Growing misalignment between distributions of job seekers and job openings across sectors (locations, industries, occupations) A priori, plausible: Outward shift in the Beveridge curve Job losses concentrated in certain sectors Patterson-Şahin-Topa-Violante, Mismatch Unemployment in the U.K. p. 3 /41

7 The mismatch hypothesis Growing misalignment between distributions of job seekers and job openings across sectors (locations, industries, occupations) A priori, plausible: Outward shift in the Beveridge curve Job losses concentrated in certain sectors Questions: How much of the rise in unemployment is due to mismatch? Along which dimensions has mismatch worsened? Patterson-Şahin-Topa-Violante, Mismatch Unemployment in the U.K. p. 5 /41
