Notes: Data from IPUMS-CPS monthly data from 2013–2017 (Flood et al., 2018) (2014, 2016, and 2018 for employment duration data, which comes from the CPS job tenure supplement data). Statistically significantly different from zero at 1-per cent level (***), 5-per cent level (**) or 10-per cent level (*). Standard errors are in parentheses. AIANs include only those who identify as AIAN alone, and white includes those who identify as white alone and also not as Hispanic. Results including AIAN in combination are similar and are presented in Online Appendix Tables G2, G3, and G4. We calculate the hourly wage by using the reported wage for those paid hourly and by dividing weekly earnings by the usual hours worked for those not paid hourly. Estimates are weighted using person-level sampling weights.
