Mean-Comparison Results Clause Samples

Mean-Comparison Results. ‌ Table 2.1 shows the means of outcome variables indicating the proportion of each labour force transition within the control and treatment groups for each subsample period. In general, UI benefit recipients were more likely to change their unemployed status by either being reemployed or withdrawing from the labour force when benefits expire. From 2008 to 2011, 26% of job losers who changed their unemployed status derived from the treatment group; 12.4% of benefit recipients who entered into employment had UI benefits approaching expiration; 13.2% of unemployed individuals who exited the labour force had UI benefits approaching expiration. In the control group, the respective proportions dropped to 22.3%, 9.9%, and 12.4%. A similar situation was observed in the aftermath of the financial crisis, but with higher figures, an increase attributed to global economic recovery and increased labour force demand, leading to a dramatic slump in the unemployment rate. The treatment group displayed the highest statistics in the total sample period between 2008 and 2014. However, the control group figures were slightly lower than those in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
