The table shows coefficients on the local labor market monthly unemployment rate, ranging from 0 to 1. Robust standard errors, clustered on MSA, are shown in parentheses. The base specification used unless stated otherwise. Data are CPS. In addition to monthly MSA unemployment rate, the base regression includes indicator variables for education (5 dummies for 6 categories), age (9), gender, marital status (2), children in household (2), foreign born (2), union member, public employment, hours on primary job (6), industry (12), occupation (16), region (8), MSA size (5), month, and year dummies. The “base + MSA FE” specification includes MSA fixed effects
