Determining the nature and source of hiring frictions is an important topic for policymakers, as these frictions impact both worker outcomes and economic growth. To date, there has been very little US-based research that has combined detailed measures of employer skill requirements, market structure, organizational characteristics and hiring difficulties at the establishment level. Prior to this study, there has been almost no research that has investigated these issues in the context of a highly regulated industry such as healthcare, which employs more workers than either retail or manufacturing. Using a unique, nationally representative dataset, this study finds that organizational practices and market structure are more relevant predictors of hiring difficulties for laboratory technologists than factors, such as skill mismatch, that are often assumed to be of primary importance.

受监管职业中的招聘摩擦：来自美国实验室的证据

确定招聘摩擦的性质和来源是决策者的一个重要话题，因为这些摩擦会影响工人的成果和经济增长。迄今为止，很少有美国研究结合了雇主技能要求、市场结构、组织特征和基层招聘困难的详细措施。在此研究之前，几乎没有研究在高度监管的行业（例如医疗保健）中调查这些问题，该行业雇用的工人多于零售或制造业。本研究使用独特的、具有全国代表性的数据集，发现组织实践和市场结构比技能不匹配、
