  • Notes: This table reports the differential effect of CNC enforceability on wage across job tenure by industry (high-tech jobs vs. nontech jobs). The dependent variables are the log of monthly earnings at 4th,…, 32nd quarter of the job spell. CNC score is measured as the 2009 CNC enforceability index scores. Data are from the LEHD (1991–2008). All standard errors are clustered by state.

  • * p < 0.10,

  • ** p < 0.05,

  • *** p < 0.01.
