Note: In Table 1, we report the classification results of the two criteria, the similarity of their pre-ADA employment protection laws to the ADA (Full, Weak, or No), and their scope (Broad, Partial, or Restricted) based on the state’s legislation in 1989. The number of states included in the strong protection is written in bold, and the rest, are classified as the no-protection states.
