In the British colonies a different approach was taken: provident funds (see below) were widely developed for particular categories of workers.
Wages have risen 3 to 5percentt a year since 1996, with the precise figure depending on the measure used -- average wages, median wages, hourly wages -- and the particular group of workers measured.
"Cooperative" union participation in management then became possible, because industrial unions had no history of resisting large-scale organization as such, were not beholden to any particular group of workers, and had no principal interest in curtailing firms' internal flexibility.
Further research is needed to disentangle cohort effects properly from the reallocation of particular groups of workers.
The present study also found that some particular kinds of workers are more expected to suffer the harm caused by inattentional blindness.
We consider a particular cohort of workers whose ability distribution is normalized to [0,1] and it is assumed to be indexed to the current state of technology.
It was used to test the assumption that particular groups of workers with low bargaining power are more likely to experience overeducation (theoretical explanation number 2).
In particular, inflows of workers with average skill level above that ofthe receiving country decrease inequality, and the opposite holds for low-skilledimmigration.
This provides some confidence that the results reported above are not driven by one particular cohort of workers in our sample.
In particular, eligibility of workers for targeted hiring credits can provide information to employers that they have been unsuccessful in the labor market, which can lead employers to regard eligible workers as risky or as less productive, offsetting the potential impact of the hiring credit (Dickert-Conlin and Holtz-Eakin, 2000; Katz, 1998).
This may be due to the high incidence of bonuses for this particular category of workers, which allowed firms to cut wages more homogeneously, shifting the distribution of wage changes to the left without affecting its shape as much as for other occupational categories.
