Abstract: In 2008, job stability in manufacturing was at its second-lowest level in 27 years, and stability rates between manufacturing and non-manufacturing have never differed so much.

The difference in unemployment duration between ex-workers in manufacturing and non-manufacturing has also never been so high.
