Sources and method

Acute care and critical access hospitals only. A hospital is listed as an employer's when Medicare's record names the employer as its owner or operator, or the hospital carries the employer's name, and the employer has open jobs in the hospital's town. The state's figures are over all of its hospitals; the middle hospital is the median.
