Abstract
Labor market barriers can be defined as a preference by employers for people experienced either in their own firms, or in similar work in other firms. Such barriers follow industrial lines, especially in industries with skilled workers and high mobility. The employers' preferences in turn give the experienced workers extra returns. Mobility data from Norway, analyzed by a new industrial classification, show the effects of labor market barriers on mobility and earnings.Keywords
