Note: The sample in all columns includes public employees (current job or most recent job) between 18 and 64 years old. We estimate Equation (3). All regressions include a constant, as well as demographic controls for age, gender, marital status, parental status, and educational attainment. We also control for the type of occupation in Column (2). Please refer to Table E1 in the Data Appendix for a detailed description of each variable. The sample in Column (1) is civilian, not institutionalized individuals from January 2019 to May 2020 Monthly CPS data. The sample in Column (2) are individuals who report being at work during the prior week. Estimates are weighted using CPS weights. Robust standard errors are clustered at the state level and reported in parentheses.
