Abstract: We show that a parsimoniously calibrated search-and-matching model of the labor market with on-the-job search gives a good account of the cyclical variation in idiosyncratic wage risk among those experiencing unemployment and of the composition effect over the business cycle. As these components generate around 80% of the total, we argue that such a model gives a good account of cyclical variation in idiosyncratic wage risk.
