How do workers displaced from energy-producing sectors fare after job loss? : evidence from coal mining / by Wen-Hao Chen and René Morissette.: CS11-626/2020-124E-PDF

"This Economic Insights article examines how workers displaced from coal mining in recent years have fared after job loss. The analysis uses Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File. The study shows that for many coal miners and workers in other industries, job loss leads to substantial and persistent earnings declines. However, three years or five years after being displaced, a significant fraction of workers displaced from coal mining or other industries earn more than they did in the year prior to job loss. Taken together, these findings do not support the view that all workers displaced from traditional energy-producing sectors experience substantial earnings declines after job loss. Nor do they support the view that all workers displaced from these sectors make a smooth transition to new employment after job loss"--Page 1.
