Abstract
This chapter shows that immigrants to Canada who declared themselves in the 1991 census to be religiously “Jewish” display much higher earned incomes as well as much higher values for each and every income-enhancing characteristic than other immigrants display. In Canada the immigration debate reflects several concerns. Research on the economic performance of immigrants to Canada has focused on pertinent characteristics as age, education, marital status, language, entry category, and intended occupation. The chapter discusses the results of testing a human capital model for the Jewish Canadian-born and Jewish immigrant earnings experiences. A human capital model argues that after arrival, Jewish immigrants accumulate, via education, experience and greater language facility, human capital which gradually makes them more competitive in the Canadian labor market. Immigrant Jews share income-enhancing characteristics with the larger population of Jews, with the anomaly that they are relatively less well educated. Jews apparently overcome the “jeopardy” inherent in being immigrants by virtue of other income-correlates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
