- Narrow sample 1: all observations from 1979 – 1982 are included. Narrower sample 2: only observations of workers in the same employer are included. Narrowest sample 3: only observations of workers in same employer, occupation and industry are included. Note The number of fifth-column observations is reduced (i.e. groupings large) because we use 3-digit occupations and industries to generate the sample/groupings. This corresponds to very close job-matches across the waves.
