Concluding: The Class Gap in Career Progression

Conditional on PhD program attended first gen college grads are less likely to end up tenured at high-ranked research-intensive schools than Dieu PhD classmates

This "class gap in career progression".

• Exists between first-gen college grads and people with a parent with a non-PhD graduate degree (aka is not only driven by academia-specific advantages).

• Exists conditional on race/ethnicity, birth region, and gender, and is as big as analogous race and gender gaps.

• Emerges at the PhD to tenure-track job juncture, and widens at the point of getting tenure. It is not driven by differential selection out of academia

• Is associated with a class gap in earnings and job satisfaction.

Our mechanisms analysis suggests that the class gap:

• is driven in part by differences in research output, but large gaps remain even conditional on very detailed measures of research quantity and quality

• may relate to differences in networks

• seems unlikely to be explained by differential preferences or constraints

Excess deaths due to COVID-19 appear underestimated – inequities are concentrated in counties with high income inequality, low median income, low homeownership, and high percentages of Black residents.

Blue-collar workers were nearly 11% less likely to take 12 weeks of paid parental leave versus white-collar workers. Workers in the leisure and hospitality had the least paid leave.
