The Prevalence of Precarious Work Schedules Among Early-Career Adults in the US Presented: New Orleans LA, Society for Social Work and Research Annual Conference, January 2015 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Keyword(s): Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper presents findings from national data on precarious scheduling practices in the US labor market. Studies in different nations and industries reveal how the scheduling practices today's employers use to contain outlays for labor often result in unstable and unpredictable work hours that undermine worker well-being and family economic security. Yet, national surveys in the US have not included items to gauge the prevalence of precarious scheduling practices, e.g., most surveys intentionally smooth variation by asking about "usual" hours. The papers' authors worked with the Bureau of Labor Statistics to develop measures of hour fluctuations and advance schedule notice that were included in the most recent round of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97). Combined with existing items on schedule input and nonstandard timing, the NLSY now offers a uniquely comprehensive picture of precarious scheduling practices among a nationally representative sample of early-career adults. |
