Table summary
This table displays the results of estimated marginal effects of expected earnings differentials and group-specific local unemployment rates on self-employment rates immigrant parents and 1.5 generation, immigrant parents and second generation and canadian-born parents and third-and-higher generations, calculated using percentage-point change  units of measure (appearing as column headers).
