From 1979 to 2018, net productivity grew by 69.6% while worker hourly compensation grew by only 11.6%. Real earnings for the top 0.1% grew by 340.7% (fifteen times faster than the bottom 90%), while earnings for the bottom 90% grew by 32.9%.
Resumes with foreign qualifications and foreign experience received a 6.0% callback rate compared to 15.7% for native Canadian resumes. Adding one domestic Canadian job increased callback rates from 6.0% to 8.5%, while replacing all foreign experience with Canadian experience raised callback rates to 11.0% (p < 0.01).
Winning a lottery prize reduces annual pre-tax earnings by approximately 1.066% of the prize amount per year (p < 0.001); a 1 million SEK windfall reduces pre-tax earnings by 10,660 SEK per year (5.5% of sample average) and after-tax earnings by 0.576% per year; calibrated dynamic models yield a lifetime marginal propensity to earn (MPE) ranging from -0.17 at age 20 to -0.04 at age 60.
Participation in activation reduced non-participants' exit rate from unemployment by ~5% (p < 0.10 in proportional hazard; -2.7 percentage points probability of employment at 3 months, p < 0.05). Comparing participants directly to non-participants within the same region overstates program efficacy by ignoring this 25%+ crowding-out spillover.
Empirical estimations revealed non-positive or negative exit hazard coefficients following program completion across multiple program types (e.g. vocational training post-completion coefficient -0.49 for control group members in Storstrøm).
