Three types of interplay between gender/EDI language in job ads and labor force gender/racial composition. Positive impact = an increase in the percentage of women/racial minority workers in the labor force leading to more feminine rather than masculine/more pro-EDI wording of job ads, or more feminine rather than masculine/more pro-EDI wording of job ads leading to a higher percentage of women/racial minority in the labor force. Negative impact = an increase in the percentage of women/racial minority workers in the labor force leading to more masculine rather than feminine/less pro-EDI wording of job ads, or more feminine rather than masculine/more pro-EDI wording of job ads leading to a lower percentage of women/racial minority in the labor force. No impact = estimated impact not statistically significant at the 5% level (based on Figs. 2 and 3).
