Use when designing tables and figures for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript under the journal's word economy — each full-page table or figure counts as 500 words toward the ~20,000-word limit. Makes exhibits earn their space; it does not run the analysis.

# Tables & Figures (jole-tables-figures)

## When to trigger

- The main table has many columns and the paper is getting long
- You are unsure whether a result should be a table, a figure, or appendix-only
- Exhibits are pushing the manuscript toward or past the word limit
- Notes under tables/figures are not self-contained

## JOLE's exhibit economy (this is the distinctive constraint)

JOLE does **not normally publish articles exceeding 20,000 words, and it counts a full-page table or figure as 500 words** toward that total. That rule changes how you design exhibits: **every full page of tables/figures costs you 500 words of text.** A paper with ten full-page exhibits has spent 5,000 words before a single sentence. So the discipline is:

- **Promote only the headline exhibits to the body.** The 1–3 results that carry the paper become main tables/figures; everything else goes to the online appendix.
