Notes: Numbers in parentheses are robust standard errors. All models control for education, experience, experience squared, whether an individual speaks or reads poor English, marital status, whether a respondent resides in a metropolitan area, and current region of residence.

Sources: The sample consists of men between the ages of 25–64 taken from the 5 % Integrated Public Use Micro Series (IPUMS) samples of the 1980, 1990, and 2000 United States Censuses and the IPUMS samples of the 2005–2007 waves of the American Community Survey.
