Thanks. I think it’s a question of how much we can draw from one study. I am not sure Miller could have done all the stuff I’m curious about in one paper, but I think that means the conclusion should be less affirmative.

Did you get a chance to look at the paper itself? I linked it, and I don't think it's behind a paywall for the public.

As I look at it more, some questions are answered. E.g., she says the income gap widens over time. I'd have to look closer to see how, then, the reason for this gap would be 2.5 years of unemployment. Is it that employers don't like it that job applicants were unemployed for a while? Digging into all of methodology would take a lot of time. I suspect that some of this stuff would have been in the sections I looked at if she had done it -- like if she had looked at both pre-transfer and post-transfer GPAs rather than just the former.
