Search behavior on the labour market during the Corona crisis

Abstract

"The underlying article measures the search intensity of employers and job seekers as well as the placement intensity of employment agencies. For this purpose, we use daily data of online activities on the job exchange platform of the German Federal Employment Agency and its internal placement software. The investigation focuses on search and placement during the Corona crisis 2020. According to the results, the search and placement activities were severely reduced in the first lockdown. The following recovery was rather sluggish. The most critical effects of the Corona crisis on the labour market may be due to a lack of new hires." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
