Seasonal and Business Cycles of U.S. Employment

Menelik Geremew and Francois Gourio

Economic Perspectives, 2018, issue 3, 1-28

Abstract: The authors document several facts about the seasonality of U.S. employment, including its marked decline since the 1960s. In addition, they find there is little evidence that industries or states that are more seasonal are also more sensitive to the business cycle, contrary to some previous studies.
