我们使用一致的测量概念分析了加拿大和美国的失业率，边际劳动力附着和参与的变化。我们显示的重要性，为总失业率的变化在那些“想要的工作”的比例的比较演变-失业者和边缘附加。我们还研究了失业者比例的变化。使用微观数据的劳动力市场过渡行为在这些边缘，我们发现在这两个国家的结果非常一致，与边缘连接显示行为之间的失业和非连接。这三种非就业状态在这两个国家是不同的。
We analyze changes in unemployment, marginal labor force attachment, and participation in Canada and the United States using consistent measurement concepts. We show the importance for the comparative evolution of aggregate unemployment of changes in the fraction of those "wanting work"-the unemployed and marginally attached. We also study changes in the fraction of the nonemployed who are unemployed. Using micro data on labor market transition behavior at these margins, we find remarkably consistent results in the two countries, with the marginally attached displaying behavior lying between unemployment and nonattachment. The three nonemployment states are distinct in both countries.
