  • Each column presents results from an OLS regression with dependent variable log hourly wage in main DHB job. Flexible age controls are an age spline of order 4. Additional controls are fixed effects for number of hours worked in DHB job, fixed effects for number of hours worked in other jobs and fixed effects for highest qualification. All observation counts have been randomly rounded to base 3. Robust SEs are in parentheses.
