We examine the impact of employment histories on union dissolution in Puerto Rico for two groups of women: all women either married or living with a partner consensually and women who did not cohabit before legal marriage. Results using discrete-time proportional hazards models indicate that: (a) transitions in female employment status within a union increase the risk of union disruption; (b) transitions in female employment status relative to union inception increase the risk of union dissolution but this effect disappears when employment transitions within the union are controlled for; (c) working in jobs that pay a wage or salary increases union disruption as compared to women who do not work and women who work in more home-oriented occupations; and (d) working in types of occupations that are conducive to home-oriented roles does not affect the likelihood of union disruption.
