  1. aOmitted because of collinearity
  2. Labour market indicator are included simultaneously into the models. Models are adjusted for proportion of employees without professional qualification, proportion of female employees, average income, district type, settlement density, average living space, and border region, as well as dummies are included for each calendar week
