在本文中，我的文件在英国劳动力市场的就业分布在20世纪80年代的变化。我使用两个纵向数据源，1979年和1990年之间的行业层面的面板数据集和1984年和1990年建立一级的工作场所劳资关系调查的面板组件。有证据表明，出现了相当大的转变，即相对更多地使用所谓的技术工人（即从事非体力工作，放弃体力工作，转而从事教育程度更高的工人）。这似乎主要是由行业内和企业因素驱动的，而不是由产品需求的行业/企业变化驱动的。有人支持这样一种观点，即可能由于更多地使用计算机技术和/或创新，手工就业储蓄的变化具有经验重要性。然而，为了形成一个更完整的画面，人们可能需要看得更宽。
In this paper I document changes in the distribution of employment in the UK labour market in the 1980s. I use two longitudinal data sources, an industry-level panel data set between 1979 and 1990 and the panel component of the 1984 and 1990 establishment-level Workplace Industrial Relations Surveys. There is evidence of a considerable shift towards the increased relative use of what may be termed more skilled labour (i.e. towards non-manual work, away from manual work and towards more highly educated labour). This seems to be principally driven by within-industry and establishment factors rather than by industry/establishment shifts in product demand. There is some support for the notion that manual employment saving changes, perhaps due to the increased use of computer technology and/or innovation, are of empirical importance. To form a more complete picture, however, one probably needs to look wider than this.
