Research Abstract

This study based on the idea that weekly magazines providing informations of job placement contribute to from a new type of labor market. According to the sampling survey on readers of the magazine which has obtained the most large share in Tohoku district, properties of those who search jobs through magazines have considerably changed in these several years. These changes correspond to the transformation and the differenciation of the labor market, especially that for young peoples.
(1) the most obvious trend observed in this study is substantial increase in the average age of readers who try to find jobs through magazines. Half of readers are above 30 years old.
(2) Before decade, majority of those who find a job through magazines had been high school graduates. Now more and more university graduates are joining in this labor market. The percentage of university graduates reached 20%.
(3) Though unemployment rate in Japan has increased considerably these some years, percentage of readers who are in the situation of unemployment has been decreased. This trend can be interpreted that labor market are divised in several segmentations, and that markets for the part-time jobs are becoming more and more autonomous. Nevertheless, 30% of readers are in the situation of unemployment.
(4) The number of high school or university students who find part-time jobs through this magazine is higher than that of part-time workers. Part-time jobs has extended among students this decade.
