*"One of the historic strengths of the U.S. economy has been the ease with which American workers move into and out of jobs. This fluidity, as economists call it, can lead to higher wages: People often get higher pay when they switch jobs, while the risk of losing quality workers to a rival can entice employers to pay more")

(b) "Steven Davis, an economist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business * * * Davis’s latest paper, published in December and co-written with University of Maryland economist John Haltiwanger"

(c) "Michael Madowitz, an economist with the Center for American Progress, points out that fluidity is only one way to measure job turnover. He says a recent increase in nonstandard employment, such as independent contracting, isn’t included in Davis’s estimates. That could mean there’s more fluidity in the job market than Davis found. Madowitz also isn’t convinced changing jobs more often is good for growth."
