Focusing on the US manufacturing sector from 1972 to 1988, this study addresses the employer rather than worker side of the process, with attention to the relationship between job creation and destruction and employer characteristics. The picture that emerges is one of large, persistent, and highly concentrated gross job creation and destruction, with job destruction dominating the cyclical features of aggregate employment.

The authors describe in detail those characteristics that destroy andcreate jobs over time (including industry of origin, wage payments,international trade exposure, factor intensity, size, age, andproductivity performance), while also providing a broader measure ofthe process that will be directly relevant to macroeconomists andpolicymakers.
Job Creation and Destruction is the culmination of a long, ongoing research program at the Center for Economic Studies. Using the most complete plant- level data source currently available―the Longitudinal Research Data constructed by the Census Bureau―it focuses on the U.S. manufacturing sector from 1972 to 1988 and develops a statistical portrait of the microeconomic adjustments to the many economic events that affect businesses and workers. The picture that emerges is one of large, persistent, and highly concentrated gross job flows, with job destruction dominating the cyclical feaures of net job flows. The authors describe in detail those characteristics that destroy and create jobs over time (including industry of origin, wage payments, international trade exposure, factor intensity, size, age, and productivity performance), while also providing a broader measure of the process that will be directly relevant to macroeconomists and policymakers.

Sivad and Chorn: The Adventures Begin

In 1978, on a remote planet, Sivad and Chorn begin their adventure. Akanians have traveled the galaxy for 6,000 years. They are known as the first species to journey into space. For over a millennium, there has been minimal technical growth and no new species joining the federation. It is an exciting time because a new Blue Planet "Earth" is expected to join the federation of species within the next hundred years. 
 The two geniuses, Sivad and Chorn, are creative in their thinking and known to be more mischievous than the acceptable societal standards of conformity and process. 
 On their first assignment, Sivad and Chorn are sent on a simple information gathering mission to a remote space port, when they divert from their flight path to view the Blue Planet. They collide with a piece of space debris called "Voyager I." 
 As they continue on their mission, little do they know that this piece of debris originated from the Blue Planet and it contains a key piece of basic technology that the rest of the galaxy desperately needs to jump a technological hurdle. The adventures begin when the technology falls into the wrong hands which could, ultimately, force a shift in power within the galaxy.
