Notes: Panel A: The data come from job vacancies posted online from 2010–2016. The unit of observation is the year–CZ combination. The sample contains a total of 5,082 observations from 726 CZs. All regressions include year fixed effects, CZ fixed effects, and the additional annual CZ-level covariates described in the text. Panel B: The data come from the 2013–2015 QWI. The unit of observation is the year–quarter–CZ combination. The sample contains a total of 7,404 observations from 617 CZs. All regressions include year–quarter fixed effects, CZ fixed effects, and the annual CZ-level covariates described in the text. In both panels, each cell is the effect of Medicaid eligibility from separate regressions of Equation 1. Regressions are weighted by population. Standard errors are clustered at the CZ level and are shown in parentheses below the estimates.
