It builds upon the literature review and indicators including the Better Life Index, the Human Development Index, the Healthiest Countries Index, and the Happiness Index. Education, knowledge, skills, health, safety, and good employment are central drivers of well-being and life satisfaction. Job satisfaction is strongly correlated with health, family fulfilment, social relationships, good citizenship, job quality, and productivity at work. Quality of governance and appropriate employment policies positively influence job satisfaction and therefore other key determinants of well-being. Vice-versa, well-being measures represent valuable inputs for various policies and, besides, well-being positively influences health, longevity, and productivity. Given all these, the present paper has the following key objectives: (1) to synthesize the main dimensions of well-being, both from the subjective and objective standpoints; (2) to underline specific relationships between well-being, quality of governance, and employment policies; (3) to describe the performance of various countries in terms of well-being indexes; (4) to underscore current risks that jeopardize well-being.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46031206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the occupational crowding hypothesis, which suggests that marginalized workers are crowded in a small number of occupations to prop up wages of socially-privileged workers, we hypothesize that immigrant, Black, and Hispanic workers were shunted into frontline work to prop up the health of others during the pandemic. Our analysis of American Community Survey microdata indicates that immigrant workers, particularly immigrant women, were increasingly crowded in frontline work during the onset of the pandemic. We also find that US-born Black and Hispanic workers disproportionately faced COVID-19 exposure in their work, but were not increasingly crowded into frontline occupations following the onset of the pandemic. The paper also provides a rationale for considering the occupational crowding hypothesis along the dimensions of both wages and occupational health.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43800866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a global economy rebounding from the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 outbreak and demanding more workers, a high rate of resignations has exacerbated labor shortages and may be aggravating unemployment and underemployment rates if many workers are not participating at all in the labor force or only working part time. Many reasons have been offered to explain this ‘Great Resignation' including high day care costs for working parents that may in turn be causing the trend of lower female labor force participation;the supposed ‘liberating' experience of not working at all or to work from home instead of having to work from one's usual work place during the Covid-19 quarantine/lockdown periods;stagnant/low wages and greater job tenure uncertainty which make working less attractive and more stressful;and the feeling by many of not wanting to work further for bad bosses or management who create bad work environments so that resignation becomes a means of escape from such conditions. This article analyses data of US labor trends since 2003 and demonstrates that resignations have been trending upward in the US aggregate economy and that quit rates mostly have been trending higher within many US industries. These phenomena can be explained by the concept of labor market segmentation, high unemployment, and underemployment rates that exist even in good economic times in some industries, minority group composition within industries, wage stagnation, and type of managerial supervision. Some of these same factors help to explain labor under-utilization greater than national/aggregate rates within these industries as well. © 2023 The Association for Social Economics.","PeriodicalId":42478,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Social Economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48910041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
