Notes: Figures in each column are based on a single regression with the (log) number of nurses as the dependent variable. Each regression includes controls for: state unemployment rate, per-capita income, proportion elderly, proportion black, and population growth (4-year change), and state and year effects. Regressions are weighted by state population. Sample size is 135.
