This analysis is based on the sub-sample of all active searchers who completed the map task. Compared to earlier tables, in this analysis we lose 32 respondents who for one reason of another indicated on the map that they had not searched in the last 10 years, and yet reported they had earlier in the survey. Regression analyses are based on slightly fewer cases due to missing data on predictor variables. Control variables in the regressions are: type of search (own versus buy), age, sex, education, presence of children, number of years in metropolitan area, and income.
