The findings of this research indicate that: (1) the supply of labor varies significantly among health categories for both white and black women; (2) although health is correlated with labor force attachment for both races, it is more important in the labor supply of blacks than of whites; and (3) differences in the labor supplied by black and by white women increase under conditions of excellent and good health, but virtually disappear under conditions of poor health.
