Notes: The data come from job vacancies posted online, 2010–2016. The unit of observation is a vacancy posting. Each cell is the effect of Medicaid eligibility from separate 2SLS regressions of Equation 2 that include controls for CZs’ annual demographic and economic characteristics as described in the text in addition to the fixed effects described in the table. Standard errors are clustered at the CZ level and are shown in parentheses below the estimates.
