Abstract
Interoccupational relations are discussed in terms of the formation, interoccupational transfer and absorption of vacant job opportunities as first explored by White (1970a). This article proceeds through several steps to develop Markov and Leontief models of the vacancy transfer process. It explores their use in simulating impacts of economic and demographic events on occupational mobility, and their interpretation and use as linear programs. A numerical illustration based on U.S. Census (1973) data for Utah is presented. Application of well-known mathematical theorems to analyze the job vacancy transfer process within a regional labor market provides a means to explore previously unidentified relationships between economics, demographics and occupational mobility.
