Each column shows the coefficients from a linear regression of log employment on the log total population risk for each facility. In columns 3 and 4, the sample is limited to facilities in South Central (EPA region 6) and the Great Lakes (EPA region 5). Standard errors are in parentheses. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
