Table 3:

Callback Rates by Age

		Young (29–31)	Old (64–66)	Absolute (percentage point) difference in callback rate for old	Percent difference in callback rate for old
A. Males (N=7,184)
Callback (%)	No	76.92	83.03	−6.11	−26.47%
Callback (%)	Yes	23.08	16.97	−6.11	−26.47%
Tests of independence (p-value), young vs. old		0.00
B. Females (N=7,184)
Callback (%)	No	74.49	82.55	−8.06	−31.60%
Callback (%)	Yes	25.51	17.45	−8.06	−31.60%
Tests of independence (p-value), young vs. old		0.00

Notes: For each city, the observations are weighted by the ratio of QWI Retail Employment, by sex, to the number of observations in the sample. The p-values reported for F-statistics for weighted tests of independence. There were no positive responses for West Virginia, so it drops out of the probit analysis in subsequent tables. We therefore also drop West Virginia from this table to have results for the same sample; this has virtually no impact on the estimates in this table. We also drop the very small number of observations for Arkansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
