source Authors’ analysis of panel data from authors’ surveys of service workers in the city of Philadelphia, collected in four waves.

notes Each cell shows the regression coefficient from a separate regression. Complete regression results are in appendix 5 (see note 21 in text). Numbers reflect person-wave observations. BIPOC is Black, Indigenous, and people of color. In our data, it refers to all respondents who identified as other than White non-Hispanic. We use it here for brevity of presentation.
