Abstract
This article tests the hypothesis that on-the-job moving behavior differs for the type of household to which the worker belongs. In particular, the authors distinguish between the presence of a spouse and the presence of an employed spouse. They find that female workers with spouses, particularly when they belong to two-earner households, tend to change jobs less often than do other workers. The empirical results do not indicate that job mobility strongly depends on the spouse’s workplace location.Keywords
