In Theodossiou’s article, he examines the relationships between unemployment and low paying jobs with a psychological well-being score. In one part of his analysis, Theodossiou looks at different employment characteristics to see how they affect well-being. I thought the inclusion and the results of people out of the labor force were interesting. Since this study was conducted in a relatively strong economic period, I would assume most people out of the labor market would be due to choice and their psychological\u00a0well-being would not be affected. I was surprised to see that being out of the labor force had significant effects on well-being for certain subgroups.<\/p>\n

I thought JN had an interesting stance on this article and although I don’t agree with all of their opinions, I thought that they brought up a good point regarding the subjectiveness of the well-being ranking. I think there is a possibility that a confounding variable could exist that factors into how people subjectively rank their well-being and their ability to find employment. But in general, this article provides a very interesting way of looking at how different factors related to employment status affect the odds of being in a low or high level of psychological well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
