Resumen
Entre un 50% y un 60% de los trabajadores encuentran empleo con información que proporcionan amigos, familiares o conocidos. En una simulación en red, estudiamos cómo evoluciona el número de trayectorias por las que se transfiere información sobre vacantes cuando se suma un nuevo nodo, teniendo en cuenta su estatus laboral, su capital social y su decisión de ser o no intermediario. El número de esas trayectorias cae con el número de nuevos nodos, y también si son desempleados, tienen bajo capital social o no comparten la información sobre vacantes. Los desempleados se agrupan con sus iguales, y los empleados con los suyos. Por ello, la información sobre vacantes no se transfiere a grupos de desempleados, salvo que estén unidos por vínculos débiles, cuyo capital social los une con quienes son distintos.
