Note. SF=San Francisco; CI = confidence interval; DD = difference-in-difference. 1Low-wage industries include accommodation and food services and selected retail; 2Chain defined as having >1 establishment per firm. Coefficients, confidence intervals, and p-values from weighted linear probability models using robust standard errors for within county comparisons and wild cluster bootstrapping to calculate DD p-values. Adjusted difference models control for employer characteristics (employer size, industry, part-time share, female share, share newly hired, and whether the establishment was part of a chain).
