This paper examines patterns of job flows and worker flows in Taiwanese industries. In addition to manufacturing industries, we include five service industries into our empirical study. We construct seven indexes and investigate the cross-industry and time-series patterns. We find jobs are created and destructed simultaneously due to the dynamic adjustments of firm’s labor demand. At the same time, workers flow into and out from labor market dramatically. By observing these flow indexes, we are able to distinguish declining industries from rising ones, to distinguish volatile industries from stable ones, and to distinguish ups and downs over the business fluctuations. In particular, the labor markets in 1994 and 1997 are prosperous, but decline thereafter. The asymmetry in the time-series volatility of creation and destruction reflects the pro-cyclical nature of job reallocation. Although worker turnover is more volatile than job reallocation, the former is less correlated with business cycles. The share of worker turnover caused by gross job reallocation, varying between 12% and 24%, is relatively small. On average, service sectors are more prosperous than manufacturing sectors. Furthermore, in a regression framework, we analyze the important factors that affect worker flows and job flows. We find that the scale of the industry influences both flows in the same direction but have no effects on employment growth rate. The higher growth rate of industrial production, the higher job creation, the lower job destruction, and the higher employment growth rate is. However, the growth rate has no impact on job reallocation and worker turnover. Industries with higher labor productivity tend to reallocate jobs through job destruction, and also induce a higher worker turnover rate. Capital intensity and export ratio have no effects on both flows.
