Sample of individuals aged 18 to 64, having full-time or regular part-time employment. Clustered robust standard errors at the individual level are reported in parentheses. ***, ** and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level, respectively. In addition to the covariates shown in the table, columns (2) and (4) also control for occupation, establishment size, industry fixed effects, federal state fixed effects, survey year fixed effects, and country of origin fixed effects
