Correlation between gross outflows and gross inflows = 0.37

  1. 1 Gross outflows = number of workers employed in an industrial sector in 1993 and no longer employed in that sector in 1995.
  2. 2Gross inflows = number of workers employed in an industrial sector in 1995 who were not employed in that sector in 1993.
  3. 3 Gross turnover = gross outflows plus gross inflows.
