In this paper, I focus on occupation-specific human capital and analyze to what extent firms value and utilize such human capital that is formed through the experience within occupation, using publicly available data. The results can be summarized as follows. First, since the 1990s, the percentage of job changers who stay in the same occupation has increased for those who were formerly specialist and technical workers, or clerical workers, but it has remained almost at the same level for those who were formerly in the other occupations. Second, in the analysis of factors that determine the percentage of job changers who stay in the same occupation, it turns out that job changers formerly in occupations that requires a larger accumulation of human capital are more likely to stay in the same occupation, both for male and female workers. Third, a worker’s experience within occupation has a larger effect on wages than his or her age, both for male and female workers, and in the case of females, this occupational experience effect for specialist and technical workers relative to that for other occupational groups has risen in recent years.
