The distinction between perceived job insecurity (workers' assessment of their likelihood of losing their job) and perceived labor market insecurity (workers' assessment of their ability to find another job similar to their current position) is important because the theoretical primacy of perceived job insecurity is diminished in the context of the risk regime, presenting a need for work that identifies whether the traditional factors of security still protect workers from feeling insecure. The author addresses this need by analyzing data from the Quality of Working Life module of the General Social Survey, which was asked of respondents in 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014. The author finds that while characteristics of secure work are still associated with lower perceived job insecurity, most tend to increase perceived labor market insecurity. The author also finds that the Great Recession produced higher levels of perceived labor market insecurity. These findings suggest that jobs previously considered to be 'good' jobs such as government and union jobs may be more of a liability than an asset in the context of decreased employer-worker attachment
