Primary Outcomes (end points)
The primary outcomes from administrative data are indicators for whether an individual is employed in each of the four quarters after random assignment; whether an individual has quarterly earnings above a certain threshold; and the level of quarterly earnings (with and without adjustments for outliers). The primary outcomes from the endline survey include measures of whether individuals believe they have a good idea of the types of jobs that are good matches for them, subjective well-being, financial security, depression, and anxiety. We also will construct measures of the expected utility from the occupation in which individuals are employed. We will analyze these results using intent-to-treat analyses as well as treatment-on-the-treated analyses (where treated is defined as having spent a minimal amount of time on the site). We will use a data-driven approach to select control variables for some specifications. We also will address any imbalance in survey response rates between the treatment and control groups through a bounding exercise and randomized survey completion incentives.
