Is Insecurity Worse for Wellbeing in Turbulent Times? Mental Health in Context

---

Using General Social Survey data, we examine whether any association between job insecurity and
well-being is contingent on economic climate (comparing those interviewed in turbulent 2010 vs. prerecessionary
2006), as well as income and gender.We find respondents with higher levels of job insecurity
in 2010 reported lower levels of happiness compared to those similarly insecure in 2006. The positive relationship
between job insecurity and days of poor mental health becomes more pronounced for those in
the third quartile of personal income in 2010, suggesting middle-class vulnerability during the economic
downturn. Men (but not women) with higher insecurity report more days of poor mental health in
both 2006 and 2010. These findings reinforce a ‘‘cycles of control’’ theoretical approach, given the mental
health–job insecurity relationship is heightened for workers in turbulent times.
