Another line of literature that started with Davis and Haltiwanger (1992) looked into gross job creation together with gross job destruction using mainly firm-level data with a focus on the determinants of job reallocation and worker reallocation.
A sample period of a decade is chosen to ensure that what we captured is sustained employment creation, rather than one-off employment booms or cyclical swings.
Due to a small sample size and difficulties in passing the normality test for most variables, the usual t-test for whether two subsamples have the same mean cannot be applied here.
