Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Gaps in job quality between immigrant and domestic‐born workers do not only concern pay but extend to other attributes. We consider resilience to technological change as a measure of job quality and analyze job tasks most likely to describe a non‐automatable job. We quantify the economic value of closing initial gaps in non‐routine cognitive job tasks for university‐educated women as equivalent to a 4% to 9% increase in their hourly wage. However, although immigrant resilience improves with time in Canada, most of the gains occur through routine cognitive tasks, generally believed to be subject to higher automation risk.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
