Clean indoor air policies have been adopted to protect employees in all workplaces from exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Despite numerous studies where no significant economic effects were associated with clean indoor air policies, concerns persist that such policies will have a severe, negative effect on alcohol-licensed businesses.
This study examines the effect of a comprehensive, statewide clean indoor air law on bar and restaurant employment in Minnesota as a whole, as well as by region in the state.
Interrupted time-series analyses were conducted separately on bar and restaurant employment between 2004 and 2008 using data reported by businesses to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The statewide clean indoor air policy was implemented October 2007; analyses were conducted in 2009.
After accounting for changes in employment in all other sectors for the state as a whole, there were no significant changes in statewide bar or restaurant employment associated with the state-level clean indoor air policy. Additionally, no significant changes were observed in regional bar or restaurant employment following enactment of the clean indoor air policy.
Enactment of a comprehensive clean indoor air policy in Minnesota did not result in significant changes in bar or restaurant employment in rural or urban regions of the state or the state as a whole. In Minnesota, neither bars nor restaurants were associated with significant changes in employment following the enactment of a comprehensive, statewide clean indoor air policy.
清洁室内空气政策已被采用，以保护所有工作场所的员工免受环境烟草烟雾的暴露。尽管有许多研究表明，清洁室内空气政策与经济影响无关，但人们仍然担心这些政策会对酒类经营企业产生严重的负面影响。
本研究整体上考察了明尼苏达州全州范围内全面的清洁室内空气法对该州酒吧和餐馆就业的影响，以及该州各地区的影响。
使用企业向明尼苏达州就业和经济发展部报告的数据，分别对 2004 年至 2008 年间酒吧和餐馆的就业情况进行了中断时间序列分析。全州范围内的清洁室内空气政策于 2007 年 10 月实施；分析于 2009 年进行。
在考虑到全州所有其他部门的就业变化后，全州范围内的酒吧或餐馆就业与州一级的清洁室内空气政策没有显著变化。此外，在实施清洁室内空气政策后，酒吧或餐馆的区域就业也没有观察到显著变化。
明尼苏达州颁布全面的清洁室内空气政策，并未导致全州农村和城市地区或全州酒吧或餐馆就业的显著变化。在明尼苏达州，无论是酒吧还是餐馆，在颁布全面的全州清洁室内空气政策后，其就业都没有显著变化。
