By firm size (Table 8), we find higher levels of mobility for smaller firms. Analysing
the wage change from 1997 to 1998 both for the total and hourly wage (table 9) we find
that workers that move have higher wage gains. Workers that change employer increase
the wage by 8% against 6% for stayers and those that change employer and workplace
increase their wage by 10%.

Trying to specify more the patterns of mobility, Table 10 allows to classifying movers
into those that move into a new establishment, those that move out of a closed
establishment and those that change industry
