a-Based on a sample of 11159 observations (3487 workers).
b-Rank changes include change up or down. It is is a dummy indicating a higher or lower rank
in period t compared to t-1. Rank changes for those reporting a change in job.
c-The percentages do not add up to 100 because frequencies are computed over the total
sample which also includes between firms job changers.
On average, intra-firm job changers are younger, more educated and more predominantly German men.
Among the three types of occupation, white-collar workers are the most likely to experience intra-firm
job changes. Overall, 91.6% of the observations correspond to no change in job and 2.9% to a change
in job within the firm. Finally, average wage growth associated with a job change is 6.02%, more than
3 times higher than with no reported job changes (1.92%). Workers experiencing a change in rank in
addition to a change in job have similar average characteristics than job changers. About 70% of the
job changers don’t experience a change in rank and 21.5 % correspond to a change to a higher rank (or
what I define a promotion). The remaining 8.7% are changes to a lower rank which seems relatively
high for demotions but not surprising given that the analysis is based on survey data which are sensitive
to miss-classification errors. This point is addressed in appendix B3. The main difference with a change
in rank is the associated wage growth which more than doubles.
