New Article: Financial Vulnerability and Worker Well-Being: A Comparison of Long-Term Services and Supports Workers With Other Health Workers

HWRC faculty member Ulrike Muench and HWRC colleagues Joanne Spetz and Matthew Jura analyzed the American Time Use Survey to learn how workers in long-term care spend their time compared with workers in other health care workers. In an article published in June in Medical Care Research and Review, they reported that those who worked in long-term care earned lower wages, were more likely to experience poverty, and spent more time working, commuting, and on unpaid activities such as childcare and housework. This is the second publication from our HWRC project on the time use of long-term care workers.
