RE
: Data on unemployment duration
Following our meeting yesterday, I have assembled some data
series on unemployment duration for you.
All data here are derived from the Current Population Survey
(CPS).
The list here includes:
1.
A time series on median duration of (in progress)
spells of unemployment
2.
Average duration of (in progress) spells
3.
Retrospective information on unemployment in the
previous calendar year from the March supplement to the
CPS. (From USDL News Release 91-447, 9/11/91)
Please call me (523-1371) if you have any questions or
problems with the data.

MESSAGE:
Hans,
The data from Report A are what I discussed with you (Tables
F G G). I also faxed some of the discussion of those data from
my report. Report B contains data from the 1985 panel--which the
authors incorrectly identified. Hopefully. I'll have data from
the 1987 panel for those who had been covered and employed and
then had a spell of unemployment in a day OT so.

MESSAGE:
Hans,
Attached are tables containing the data on health insurance
coverage and unemployment spells from the 1987 SIPP panel. Unlike
the previous data I sent you, these reflect persons who were
employed at some time in the month before their spells of uncmployment
began. The previous data reflected persons who were employed as well
as not in the labor force before their spells began. The table
penciled 1 contains the totals and the tables penciled 2 thru 7
contain spell lengths, The tables also identify source of coverage.
If I can be of further help please call and we'll see what
we can do
Paul
