| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of labor market conditions on employer-sponsored health insurance (ESHI). Unique data from
the Louisiana Health Insurance Surveys linked to unemployment data and the Louisiana Job Vacancy Surveys prior to and after
Hurricane Katrina provide very large variation in the job vacancy and unemployment rates, our measures of labor market conditions.
Results suggest a significant relationship between both unemployment and industry specific job vacancy rates and ESHI. |
