I construct a dataset of monthly transition rates by developing a novel approach to measure them using cross-sectional data from the European Union Labor Force Survey. Transition rates exhibit similar cyclical patterns across countries, but their levels are persistently different. I compute an indicator of the pace of worker reallocation up the job ladder, and find that it varies substantially across countries, is pro-cyclical, and exhibits a systematic positive relationship with wage inflation.
