Notes: Each column represents a different sub-population, with unweighted observation counts listed in the first row of the panel. The first panel includes anyone who receives accommodation or reports that accommodation would help, regardless of health status. The second panel includes anyone who reports a health condition that limits their work, regardles of accommodation status. The second row in each panel reflects these counts as weighted share of the total survey sequence sample (total observation counts for each sequence sample are listed in the panel headers). Row (3) reflects the percentage of individuals with the disability/accommodation status who are working. Row (4) reflects the percentage of individuals with the disability/accommodation status who are accommodated (unconditional on working), and row (5) esimtates the percentage of individuals with the disability/accommodation status who are accommodated (conditional on working). Estimates are weighted using ALP sample weights. See Figure 2 for standard and alternative question sequences, respectively.
