The Earnings and Human Capital of American Jews
Abstract
This paper analyzes the earnings and returns from human capital investments of second-generation American Jews. Compared with non-Jews, Jewish men have 16 percent higher earnings (other things the same), a 20 percent higher rate of return from schooling, and a steeper experience-earnings profile. These patterns persist even after controlling for occupation, self-employment status, and geographic concentration in the New York area. There are no systematic differences among Jews by parents' country of birth. The findings suggest that American Jews are more productive in creating and using human capital, and that this has encouraged greater investments in human capital.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
