Employer Concentration and Labor Force Participation

Written by:
Working Paper Number CES-22-08

Abstract

Download Employer Concentration and Labor Force Participation [PDF - > 1MB]

This paper examines the association between employer concentration and labor outcomes (labor force participation and employment). It uses restricted data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Business Database (LBD) to estimate, at the county level, to what extent more concentrated labor markets have lower labor force participation rates and lower employment. The analysis also examines whether unionization rates and education levels mediate these associations.
