Upper-case letters denote that a coefficient is statistically different (at the p<=.05 level) from the comparison country (U= United States, N = Norway, G=Germany, B= United Kingdom) or from the weekday estimate (W). The reference category is: 35 years old, no college degree, one daughter aged 6 to 9, working 40 hours per week, partner not employed, and reported working on the diary day.
