All graphs use the same horizontal axis, labeled with quantile values from 1 through 9. The vertical axis in each graph displays wage values, including positive and negative values. Each graph contains three lines labeled in the legend as “wage differential”, “explained”, and “unexplained”. The “wage differential” line uses circular markers, the “explained” line uses diamond markers, and the “unexplained” line uses triangular markers.
