AbstractUsing labor survey data for the year 1998, this paper attempts to estimate a gender-based earning model that is a function of age, experience, and education levels. According to the estimated model, keeping education at a fixed level, the wages of production (blue-collar) workers are a nonlinear function of age and experience. On the average, over a lifetime, female workers earn 78 to 81% of the wages of their male counterparts. The annual rate of return on three years of high school education is 4.15% for males and 2.45% for females.

Stress Work

This chapter focuses on how work and work experiences such as occupational demands, job autonomy, job stress, work hours, and work-related discrimination influence sleep across populations. A model of sleep and work is offered that accounts for the role of social factors. Empirical evidence demonstrates how these work factors such as occupational demands, autonomy, work schedules, long work hours, selection or placement into labor market sectors, work stress, social support at work, and work-related discrimination impact sleep health. Epidemiological evidence is further provided for sleep health disparities in the work–sleep relationship by race/ethnicity and immigration status.

Cross Sectional Design

This study explored the effects intervening in the linkages of optimism and hope with subjective health in the short term after myocardial infarction. A two-wave study design was used. The sample consisted of 222 myocardial infarction survivors. When adopting a cross-sectional design, optimism and hope predicted subjective health at Time 1 and Time 2. After controlling for baseline subjective health, they were no longer significant predictors of subjective health at Time 2. Parallel indirect effects of seeking social support and problem solving were significant for both optimism and hope. After controlling for the shared variance between optimism and hope, these effects remained significant only for optimism.
