A Job Vacancy Rate for Argentina

Abstract

This paper builds a time series for vacancies in Argentina and shows the path of the Beveridge curve during the period 2000-2018. We use a novel dataset from a survey that collects vacancy postings since 2008 and combine it with a print help-wanted index published from 2000 through 2014. We present, as a result, a job vacancy series long enough to cover six recessions in addition to the 2001 crisis.
