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 baseline. 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. Each column is from a separate regression. In columns 2 to 10, the regression also includes dummy variables for each of the other accommodations received in addition to the one on which the column focuses and interacts withjob tasks, pPT = proportion of patients whose job involved physical tasks; pMT= proportion of patients whose job involved mental tasks. Thus, for example, (physical tasks - pPT) refers to the dummy for the physical task in each column minus its sample proportion. Robust standard errors in parentheses.
Sample size for the “Any accommodation” model (column 1) is 450.
