Abstract

The paper investigates how job losses in the tradable sector propagated to supporting service industries during the Great Recession. It employs a novel identification strategy, using Bartik job losses as an instrument to capture exogenous job losses. The study finds that a 10% decline in tradable jobs led to a 3.12% decline in supporting services employment, with more significant spillovers in local supporting sectors. This research contributes to understanding the cascading effects of job losses and the importance of input–output linkages in economic downturns.
