the unemployment spell in this more closed sector. However, 
the second panel of Table 4 also shows that the effect of 
experience does not show up either in the more "open" sector 
where lay off is not indicated. Presumably, in the more 
open sector, experience as such does not discriminate among 
different employment processes. 
Return to the same employer, of course, could also take 
place in the open sector. Another definition can be 
obtained by grouping together spells covered by unemployment 
compensation the closed sector. Correspondingly, those 
spells where compensation was not received are classified 
as the more irregular or open sector. Since we here cannot 
use amount of compensation as a variable, only experience 
and race are included as independent variables. The results 
are presented in Table 5.

In the more regular, closed sector, none of the independent 
variables have an effect. In the more open, irregular 
sector, race, shows very strong effects, while as before with 
return to the same employer, experience makes little 
difference. Note also that the rates of reemployment are 
very much higher in the more closed sector than in the more 
open sector. 
CONCLUSION 
This paper has shown that unemployment processes are quite 
heterogeneous according to employment sector. Using 
indirect indicators to identify sectors it is demonstrated 
that in the more closed employment sector of the labor 
market, the duration of unemployment processes is less
