A Longitudinal Study of Piece Rate and Health: Evidence and Implications for Workers in the US Gig Economy Public Health 180 (March 2020): 1-9. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0033350619303415 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Health, Chronic Conditions; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Modeling, Logit; Modeling, Random Effects; Performance pay; Wage Rates Methods: Data from six survey waves of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth collected between 1988 and 2000 are used in a random-effects logit model to predict self-reported health limitations related to piece rate, while controlling for worker, work environment, lifestyle, time, and location trends. Results: Pay tied to piece rate in current or prior periods significantly increases the odds of self-reported health limitations compared with salaried work (odds ratio [OR]: 1.4-1.8). These effects are elevated for the subgroups of low-wage (OR: 1.5-1.8), female (OR: 1.8-1.9), and non-white (OR: 2.0-2.1) workers compared with their high-wage, male, and white peers. |

Mortgage Debt as a Moderator in the Association between Unemployment and Health Public Health 128,3 (March 2014): 239-245. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0033350613004095 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Debt/Borrowing; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Home Ownership; Unemployment Objective: While homeownership is generally viewed as good for society, the consequences of the concomitant mortgage debt have not been well examined. This study investigates the role of mortgage debt as a moderator in the relationship between unemployment and health. Study Design: A cross-sectional analysis of a representative sample of US homeowners aged 38–46 surveyed in 1998–2006. Methods: Subjects were 3667 adults living in owned homes aged 38–46 who reported being either employed or unemployed. Logistic models were performed using maximum likelihood estimation to estimate the relative risk of self-reporting fair or poor health with regard to employment status and how employment status interacted with mortgage status. Results: Among homeowners, being unemployed for more than 13 weeks with a mortgage is associated with a higher likelihood of reporting fair or poor health (odds ratio 2.38, 95% confidence interval 1.28–4.45). Being unemployed for more than 13 weeks with a mortgage loan that is more than 80% of the value of the home is associated with a greater likelihood of reporting fair or poor health (odds ratio 8.99, 95% confidence interval 2.50–32.29). |
