• Description:
  Objectives: To describe growth of alternative and contingent employment and the impacts of these changes in State of California. Methods: We administered surveys to random samples of population of the State in 1999-2000 and 2022-2023 to compare the frequency of kinds of work, working conditions, economic well-being, and health status in the two dyads of years. Results: Between 1999-2000 and 2022-2023, decreasing fractions of the population of the State work full-time/full-year; report regular shifts, jobs with long tenures, and upward mobility in their careers; while increasing fractions report fair or poor health and financial strain. Conclusion: Employment changes are associated with a worsening in the health status and economic well-being of the population of the State. Longitudinal follow-up of the same individuals would be necessary to establish a causal connection among these phenomena. [Description provided by NIOSH]
