The University of Chicago received a two-year, $212,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to understand the role of social networks in hiring for low-wage construction jobs. Through experimental methods conducted in partnership with construction worksites, the university will test how an individual's level of social connectedness affects their likelihood of securing employment. Researchers will measure worker productivity before and during various treatments intended to disentangle which factors, such as ability signaling, employer preferences, accountability, or personal favoritism, explain variations in employment rates between socially connected and less connected individuals. Results from this research aim to inform policies that promote equal access to employment opportunities and improve labor market efficiency, allocation, productivity, and economic growth overall. The completion date for this grant is June 30, 2025.
