Comparing the Occupational Distributions of Norwegian-Born Men in the United States and Norway In 1900

Notes: Each figure presents the relative frequency of 144 earning categories (representing 189 distinct occupations) for Norwegian-born men in the United States and in Norway. All men are assigned the mean US earnings in their occupation. Men are divided by rural or urban place of birth. Farmers, the largest occupational category, is excluded from the figure for reasons of scale. We report coefficients and standard errors from OLS regressions of ln(earnings) on a dummy for living in the United States controlling for a quadratic in age.
