Notes: Coefficients estimated from linear probability models for employment and linear regressions for hours. Controls 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 of others; and year of interview (2007 to 2011). All models include the health status controls: indicators of chemotherapy or radiation at nine-month interview; cancer stage; and SF-36 physical and mental summary score and CESD-10 score at the nine-month interview. All models also include the job involvement 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. For columns 1 and 2, N= 556; 19 observations had at least one response of “Refused” and were dropped. For column 3, N= 488; 14 observations had at least one response of “Refused” and were dropped. Robust standard errors are shown in parentheses.
