Note: The bars report the percentage point difference for the probability of having a temporary contract between native and migrant key workers. The red dotted line indicates the EU average for the EU mobile vs. native difference (1.55 percentage points), while the blue dotted line indicates the EU average for the Extra-EU vs. native difference (5.35 percentage points).

gaps by key occupation rather than by Member State. We distinguish high and low skilled occupations (blue and red bars, respectively). Even within occupation, migrant workers are more likely to have a temporary contract than natives, although the gaps for Extra-EU workers (panel b) are larger (and more often statistically different from zero) than for EU mobile. Remarkably, we observe significant gaps for EU migrants almost exclusively in high skill occupations, while for Extra-EU workers we find significant gaps in both low and high skill jobs.
