<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk69118321"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk133579769"><span lang="EN-US">Labor market restructuring—the changing size, content, and significance of different occupations—affects workers' job mobility opportunities
and outcomes. However, the existing literature either overlooks workers' mobility response to occupational restructuring or analyzes it within occupational changes across broad categories (e.g., farming, manufacturing, or service occupations). We fill this
gap by analyzing inequality in occupational mobility between workers in occupations with job expansion and contraction. We construct a novel dataset of 12,381 occupation-year observations documented in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook
Handbook (2000–2020) and other occupational databases to describe employment trends and 10-year projected employment. By linking occupation-level information with Current Population Surveys, we examine the job mobility patterns of workers in occupations with
varying degrees<br>
of employment change. Our analyses show that workers in occupations with job contraction face a double disadvantage with respect to occupational mobility. First, their jobs are more unstable than workers in growing or stable occupations. Second, when they change
occupations they are likely to move from one declining occupation to another rather than entering growing occupations. Additionally, they are more likely to experience downward mobility into lower-paying occupations than their counterparts in growing occupations.
Less-educated and older workers, net of other characteristics, are the least likely to move from declining to growing occupations. Our results suggest that changing occupational demand in recent decades has influenced inequality in opportunities for mobility.
Workers in declining occupations face significant challenges in seeking and securing jobs in the new economy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
