Notes: Participation rates for years 1996-2008. The dependent variables are EITC, AFDC/TANF, Food Stamps, and UI recipients, each divided by the state population. Data sources are in text. All regressions include state and year fixed effects. The results are weighted by the state population. The unemployment rate is measured in percentage points. Percent impact is calculated as the effect of a 1 percentage point (1 unit) increase in the unemployment rate divided by the mean value of the dependent variable. Standard errors are clustered by state and shown in parentheses. *p< 0.10, **p< 0.05, ***p<0.01.
