Notes: Coefficients estimated from linear probability models for employment and linear regressions for hours. Controls in base model include age categorized as < 37, 37 to 46, 47 to 56, or 57 and older; health insurance through their own employer; prediagnosis weekly hours worked; sets of dummy indicators for race, education, marital status, having children under age 18, household income, and whether the respondent’s job is a blue-collar job; indicator variables if job requires physical effort, concentration, heavy lifting, stooping/kneeling/crouching, analysis, learning new skills, good eyesight, or keeping up with pace; and year of interview (2007 to 2011). Models that include health status controls add variables for indicators of chemotherapy or radiation at nine-month interview; cancer stage; and SF-36 physical and mental summary score and CESD-10 scores at the nine-month interview. Models that include job involvement add indicator variables that the patient agrees that the job is the major satisfaction; most important events involve her work; perfectionistic about work; lives, eats, breathes her job; and very personally involved in her work. Robust standard errors are shown in parentheses. Six women responded “Refused” to at least one of the specific accommodation questions and were excluded from these models.
