Among college trained, white full-time US workers, evidence of selection is present even after conditioning on extensive observable attributes. Among individuals with a high school degree or less, selection is absent. Additional estimates indicate that for college trained workers, 3.5% is an upper bound on the modal worker's wage elasticity with respect to city size.

As a measure of quality, we use the pre-pandemic adjusted five-year penalty rates for excess 30-day readmissions following pneumonia admissions for the hospitals accessible to county residents based on ambulance travel patterns. Our adjustment corrects for socio-economic status and down-weighs observations based on small samples.
