Occupational Transitions among Direct Care Workers in the United States
The high turnover and low supply of direct care workers have led to worker shortages, and in some cases, an inability to provide needed care for patients across healthcare settings. This was exacerbated during COVID-19. Using the longitudinal panel in the Current Population Survey (CPS), we found that 38 percent of direct care workers transitioned to another occupation at some point during the survey period. The rate of workers making an occupati…

Retention of Community Health Workers in the Public Health Workforce
Objectives. To investigate the organizational factors contributing to the intent of community health workers (CHWs) to quit their jobs in local and state health departments in the United States. Methods. We used the 2017 (n = 844) and 2021 (n = 1014) Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey data sets to predict CHWs’ intent to leave with Stata 17 balanced repeated replication survey estimations. Results. CHWs dissatisfied with organizat…
Rural/urban differences in access to paid sick leave among full‐time workers
PURPOSE: Access to paid sick leave is critically important to promoting good health, caregiving, and stopping the spread of disease. In this study, we estimate whether access to paid sick leave among US full-time workers differs between rural and urban residents. METHODS: We used data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey and included adult respondents between the ages of 18 and 64 who were employed full-time (n = 12,086). We estimated b…
Tracking Turnover Among Health Care Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The findings of this observational cross-sectional study suggest that although much of the health care workforce is on track to recover to prepandemic turnover rates, these rates have been persistently high and slow to recover among long-term care workers, health aides and assistants, workers of minoritized racial and ethnic groups, and women with young children. Given the high demand for long-term care workers, targeted attention is needed to re…

Gender, Race/Ethnicity, and Unionization in Direct Care Occupations
Objectives. The goal of this study was to measure unionization in the direct care workforce and the relationship between unionization and earnings, looking closely at differences across race/ethnicity and gender. Methods. Using data from the Current Population Survey from 2010 to 2020, we first used logit analyses to predict the probability of unionization among direct care workers across race/ethnicity and gender. We then measured the relationsh…
Professional certification and earnings of health care workers in low social closure occupations
The Racialized Glass Escalator and Safety Net
Past research has shown that minority men are more likely than others to enter female-dominated occupations, but less is known about the quality of their jobs in these fields in contrast to other employment options. We use the 2004 and 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to examine whether the female-dominated industries of education and health care produce better job quality in terms of wages, benefits, hours, an…
Gendered skills and unemployed men’s resistance to “women’s work”
In recent decades, many male‐dominated jobs have contracted, while many female‐dominated jobs have increased. Scholars have tied these changes to men’s declining employment rates; yet, little attention has been paid to unemployed men’s consideration of work associated with women. Based on a sample of 441 unemployed men, we used an experimental survey design to examine the likelihood that unemployed men pass up applying to a job based on the job’s…
Young Men’s Entry and Persistence in Female-Dominated Occupations
Since the 1970s, many male-dominated jobs have contracted while the demand for occupations traditionally held by women has increased. Despite these trends, men have made limited progress in entering female-dominated jobs. In this study, we use the 2004 and 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation to examine whether younger men (ages 18–24) are more likely to enter female-dominated occupations than adults (ages 25–44) and midd…

Is healthcare the new manufacturing
Employability among low-skill workers
In today’s unstable and uncertain economy, middle-class and professional workers are expected to participate in employability activities, such as ongoing higher education and obtaining additional credentials. These activities are expected by employers, protect workers against layoff, and help to advance workers’ careers. In this article, we argue that the expectations of employability are increasingly being placed on lower-level workers by their …
Motivation in caring labor
Does the 'Glass Escalator' Compensate for the Devaluation of Care Work Occupations
Feminized care work occupations have traditionally paid lower wages compared to non-care work occupations when controlling for human capital. However, when men enter feminized occupations, they often experience a 'glass escalator,' leading to higher wages and career mobility as compared to their female counterparts. In this study, we examine whether men experience a 'wage penalty' for performing care work in today's economy, or whether the glass …
Healthcare organization-education partnerships and career ladder programs for health care workers
The quality of healthcare jobs
Frontline healthcare worker jobs are among the fastest growing occupations in the USA. While many of these are 'bad jobs' with low pay and few benefits, the intrinsic nature of frontline work can also be very rewarding. This article examines the influence of extrinsic job characteristics (e.g. wages and benefits) versus intrinsic characteristics (e.g. meaningful tasks) on job satisfaction and intent to stay with one's current employer. This artic…
Mobility for care workers
Transgene expression of MIC-1 in vivo using minicircle DNA results in weight loss and improved glucose homeostasis in mice
Caregiving in a Patient’s Place of Residence
Differences in turnover between hospice and home health agencies suggest that organizational characteristics of hospice care contribute to lower turnover rates. However, the variation in turnover rates is not fully explained by the proposed multivariate models. Future research should explore individual and structural-level variables that affect voluntary and involuntary turnover in these settings
