Population Response to Labor Demand Shocks - Population Changes from 3-year ACS

	Dependent Variable: Change in log of Population

Panel B: Men, Some college or more
Change in log of Group-Specific Employment	0.453^*** (0.076)	0.434^*** (0.065)	0.497^** (0.222)	0.428^** (0.172)	0.525^** (0.243)
Panel C: Women, High-school or less

Panel D: Women, Some college or more

Each listed coefficient represents a separate regression of the change in log(population) for the relevant group (from the 3-year samples of the American Community Survey) on the change in log(group-specific employment) from County Business Patterns data (using the demographic group's industry mix). All regressions include an intercept term and 95 city observations. Observations are weighted by the inverse of the estimated sampling variance of the dependent variable (see appendix for details).
