Oscar Flores paper accepted for publication

Oscar Flores, Economics, had the paper “The unemployment-vacancy relationship in a local labor market” accepted for publication in the journal The Empirical Economic Letters. In this paper, Flores identifies a decrease in structural and frictional unemployment in the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Statistical Area from 1992 to 2001. Structural unemployment occurs due to a mismatch between the skills companies want and those unemployed workers have, while frictional unemployment occurs due to worker mobility.
