Abstract

The study uses Jordan’s Employment and Unemployment Surveys (EUS) from 2003" 2014 with the aim to analyze trends in labor market indicators at the governorate level. Using the proportion of Syrians in each governorate, I classify governorates into three categories of “treatment”: low, medium, and high. This treatment variable will be examined against labor market outcomes including labor force participation, unemployment, weekly working hours and wages. The pre" and post"treatment periods are separated by the year 2011, when the first wave of Syrians entered Jordan, though this is not a sharp cut"off. These periods will be referred to as pre"influx and post"influx.
