In this paper aggregate measures of job mobility are built using Markov processes theory. Assuming employees and jobs follow Markov professes, we derive from estimation theory a first set of statistical arrays that are sufficient for a semiparametric estimation of these process's. Then, we analyse the link between employee and job processes, and use it in develop new arrays where elements from the two associated processes are mixed. Finally, we examine state space heterogeneity within Markov processes and its consequences for the definition of employee slates and job slates.
