Note: the dependent variable ’matching’ measures the matching quality of all skills. Tasks learned at work is a dummy variable indicating whether cognitive (social) tasks are learned at work or not. The definitions and measurement of the variables are displayed in Table 14 in Appendix A. Clustered standard errors are in parentheses. Fixed effects refer to those at the two-digit occupational level (ISCO codes).
