  1. Data source: IAB-SOEP-Migration Sample 2015, own calculations
  2. Notes: The dependent variable is the use of social contacts for the first job search. The estimated model is a linear probability regression model. The “co-ethnic community size” variable is standardized: the relevant coefficient corresponds to the effect of an increase by one standard deviation. Robust standard errors are in parentheses. FE = fixed effects. For the list of confounders included in the models, see the section Independent variables and confounders. For the full models, see Additional file 1: Appendix F
