Notes: Results shown come from a linear probability model in which a binary indicator of current employment is the dependent variable. Covariates not shown: education, age, region, marital status, US citizen, immigrant, number of children, chronic conditions, and smoker. The regression accounts for complex survey design. The table shows estimated coefficients and t-statistics in parentheses.
