Abstract
Aerospace production has been undergoing major reorganization since the late 1980s. This paper investigates one aspect of changing organization: the re-employment experiences of those made redundant by British Aerospace (BAe) during reorganization of its production capacity across its sites in Lancashire in the North West of England. Results of statistical analysis draw attention to different rates of success in converting individuals' sets of skills and knowledge to employment in different types of companies operating in different industrial sectors within the local economy. Previous job type, age and length of employment experience form statistically significant effects in affecting chances of securing re-employment.
