Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Before arriving in Canada, immigrants face information gaps and must choose between social or traditional media when searching for jobs. Using a linear probability model, this study finds that searching for employment information on social media is positively related to labour force participation and earnings, even after controlling for post-arrival search behaviour and the actual use of the information obtained. But there is heterogeneity in the effects based on the type of information that is searched for and the search method that is used. The findings underscore that social media is an effective job search tool for immigrants.

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.
