jole-writing-style
Use when polishing prose, the 100-word abstract, and the introduction for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — Chicago author-date references, the 20,000-word economy, and a general labor-economics audience. Polishes exposition; it does not change results or design.

# Writing Style (jole-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The abstract exceeds **100 words** or does not state the finding
- The introduction wanders before reaching the labor question and the result
- Citations are not in **Chicago author-date** style, or are ordered wrong in-text
- Sentences are jargon-dense for a general labor-economics readership
## JOLE house style: precise, economical, audience = labor economists
JOLE is read across labor economics, not by one subfield, so the prose must make a labor question legible to any labor economist while respecting a strict word economy. Format facts that directly shape the writing:
- **100-word abstract.** This is short — there is no room for throat-clearing. Open with the question and design, **state the result with a number**, and close with the labor takeaway. Count the words.
