This study investigates whether local economic conditions at entry into the labour market afiect adult career outcomes. If the stage of the business cycle determines later outcomes, then there are long-term costs associated with entering the labour market in a recession. The focus is on the local unemployment rate (LUR) at entry - at detailed regional level and its overall efiects on earnings and experience accumulation.These outcomes are investigated throughout the adult life-cycle, using detailed German register data (IABS). Results draw upon variation in LURs related to both the moment and place of entry. We flnd small but signiflcant adverse efiects of economic conditions at entry on earnings. Moreover, the negative efiect on earnings gains in strength throughout the career. Work experience does not seem negatively afiected in the early stages of the adult career and involves only very small adverse efiects later on in the life-cycle.
