How far do economic recoveries help those whose employment potential was most affected in times of crisis to clamber back – and under what regional conditions? We examine this issue drawing on individuals’ employment histories from the UK Household Longitudinal Study. We find that -with the notable exception of the London economy- loss of occupational status is ‘sticky’, with evidence of limited ‘bouncing back’ for those ‘bumped down’ the occupational ladder during the crisis. London’s exceptionalism is consistent with expected metropolitan advantages (denser/larger- labour markets) but we find no evidence of a broader North-South divide; while comparisons across regions outside London reveal no significant associations with general indicators of the form/intensity of economic recovery.

经济复苏的不均衡地域和个人流离失所的粘性

经济复苏在多大程度上帮助那些在危机时期就业潜力受到最大影响的人重新振作起来——在什么区域条件下？我们根据英国家庭纵向研究中个人的就业历史来研究这个问题。我们发现——除了伦敦经济的显着例外——职业地位的丧失是“棘手的”，有证据表明，对于在危机期间“跌倒”职业阶梯的人来说，“反弹”是有限的。伦敦的例外主义与预期的大都市优势（更密集/更大的劳动力市场）一致，但我们没有发现南北鸿沟更广泛的证据；而伦敦以外地区的比较显示，与经济复苏形式/强度的一般指标没有显着关联。
