Abstract
I use household survey data for the 1980s to examine changes in the labor market of El Salvador. The findings suggest that the labor market does adjust to conflict: there have been significant effects of conflict on the regional distribution of employment, on international migration, on internal migration in the areas directly affected. Other indicators, such as labor force participation and self-employment rates, show outcomes are lower in the areas that were affected by conflict, but were lower even before the conflict began. And for earnings, the level of real hourly earnings has fallen substantially in all areas in the 1980s.
