Abstract
This paper investigates why educated jobseekers tend to experience longer search and unemployment durations than their less educated counterparts. The empirical analysis based upon a survey of Delhi jobseekers indicates that while the duration of search is mainly determined by educational level, the duration of unemployment is more closely related to personal and family characteristics normally associated with education. Earnings function results are consistent with the proposition that the educated search longer because their returns are higher.
