Drug and Alcohol Use at Work: A Survey of Young Workers Monthly Labor Review 114,8 (August 1991): 3-7. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1991/08/art1abs.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Drug Use; Gender Differences; Industrial Sector; Occupations; Racial Differences This article uses data from the 1984 NLSY to examine the incidence of drug use on the job among young workers in the United States. It is found that drug use is higher among men than women, among whites than minorities, and among workers aged 19 to 23 than those aged 24 to 27. Blue-collar workers have higher rates of drug use than white-collar workers. Also, drug use is most common among young workers in entertainment/recreation and construction industries, and least common among those in professional services and public administration industries. |

Child Care: Arrangements and Costs Monthly Labor Review 114,10 (October 1991): 10-17. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1991/10/art2abs.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Child Care; Dual-Career Families; Educational Attainment; Family Income; Marital Status; Maternal Employment; Racial Differences; Unemployment; Work Hours/Schedule The 1988 NLSY and the 1983 NLS of Young Women are used to examine several child care issues in the United States. Younger and older women frequently use relatives to provide child care, but older women use persons other than relatives more frequently. These data indicate that the use of child care centers by mothers is directly related to family income. The results also indicate that upper-income families can more easily afford private centers, while poorer families are more likely to use public centers. Average weekly expenditures on child care are about $60 for younger women and $45 for older women. Younger women utilize child care services an average of 39.4 hours a week, compared with 24.7 hours for older women. These data suggest that child care expenditures and hourly usage are also related to family income. Findings also suggest that women in low-income families are more likely to have gaps in employment because adequate child care arrangements are more difficult to find. |
