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. |
