Note: All models include controls for education, age, marital status, citizen status, occupation, as well as state, metro/non-metro and month and year fixed effects to control for observed and unobserved geographic and temporal factors that give rise to differential rates of employment. Sample restricted to men ages 16–64 in their fourth interview.
