Causal Wage Returns to Short-Term Work Experience
Acquiring 5 days of short-term work experience increased average daily wages by $3.83 (representing an approximate 80% wage increase) over the 8-month follow-up period and increased subsequent employment probability by 6.8 to 8.8 percentage points [14-16].

Probabilistic Job Offer Instrument
The probabilistic job offer assignment strongly predicts short-term employment acquisition with a first-stage F-statistic of 76.36 [12, 13]. Assigning 50%, 75%, or 100% probabilities increases job acquisition by 40.2, 56.8, and 83.7 percentage points respectively (p < 0.01) [12, 13].
