Free Pre-K and Non-Marital Childbearing: Examining the Link in Vermont
State minimum wage and mental health in the United States: 2011–2019
Consistent with a rise in “deaths of despair” (drug overdose, alcoholism, and suicide), the percentage of Americans reporting major mental and emotional problems in all 30 of the last 30 days has been increasing. Based on the hypothesis that this rise in extreme levels of distress is driven partly by financial hardships, this study investigates whether higher state minimum wages reduce the likelihood of extreme levels of distress among low-income…

For unemployed men, the rela…

An Analysis of Perceptions of Job Insecurity among White and Black Workers in the United States: 1977–2012
While objective measures indicate that the risk of job loss is higher for black workers than for white workers, there is little research on how what workers’ expectations of job loss differ by race. This study looks at how secure black and white workers are feeling about their jobs and how their perceptions of job insecurity have been affected by time trends and regional unemployment rates. I find that perceptions of job security of black male wo…
The Deregulation of Temporary Employment and Workers' Perceptions of Job Insecurity
This study investigates whether the expansion of temporary employment in Japan has caused an increased perception of job insecurity among workers there. Non-regular employment, such as part-time and temporary work, has increased as a proportion of the Japanese workforce in recent years. The deregulation of temporary staffing in 2004 allowed firms to use temporary agency staffing for production line work in manufacturing. Using this legislation as…
