A local research contrast.
The authors report a 6.7 percentage-point treated-control differential in employment-to-population, relative to 1982. This is not a national observed employment rate or a 6.7 percent increase in employment.
The selected record uses the source label “prime-age”; exact numeric age bounds are not restated in this website projection. The complete paper is linked below. Parallel trends and the access-channel interpretation are the authors’ identification assumptions.
Other tables and years in the same study may share samples. Their presence does not establish independent replication or permission to pool coefficients.
