The specification is otherwise similar to the main analysis except Columns 1 and 4 are limited to persons with no college education and Columns 2 and 5 are limited to persons with at least some college education. Columns 3 and 6 report the differences in coefficients between the two groups with standard errors estimated via pooled sample regression with a full set of interaction terms between a no college dummy and all other explanatory variables.
