| IHS(Vacancies posted by employers in 25th to 50th percentile) | 0.372 (0.385) | 0.391 (0.409) |
| IHS(Vacancies posted by employers in 50th to 75th percentile) | 0.278 (0.348) | 0.258 (0.364) |

Notes: The data come from job vacancies posted online, 2010–2016. The unit of observation is a year–CZ combination. The sample contains 4,417 observations from 631 CZs. Employers are ranked using their mean residuals from a regression of skills on occupation and year fixed effects using data from 2010–2012 as described in the text. Each cell is the effect of Medicaid eligibility from separate regressions of Equation 1. All regressions include year fixed effects, CZ fixed effects, and the annual CZ-level covariates described in the text. Regressions are weighted by population. Standard errors are clustered at the CZ level and are shown in parentheses below the estimates.
