wage-insurance July 17, 2024 on Chris Howey's blog

I found a Staff Reports paper1 from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York detailing a wage insurance that provides income support to displaced workers who fine reemployment at a lower wage.

The condition of receiving the income support on reemployment encourages workers to find employment quickly, and leads to higher long-run cumulative earnings.
