Publisher description
Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. Dept. of Labor, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Office of Productivity and Technology, [2007] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)213328000 Subject: Labor productivity -- United States. Excerpt: ... Next, we estimated the model using CPS supplement data for 2001 and 2004 sequentially. Table 8 presents the marginal effects and standard errors from these estimations. Holding all else equal, overall results from both data sets indicate that highly-educated employees are much more likely to bring work home than less-educated employees, black employees are less likely to bring work home than white employees, and Hispanic employees are less likely to bring work home than non-Hispanic employees. We also find that females are less likely to bring work home than males, except in the 2001 CPS Supplement; although, the magnitude of these gender effects is small compared with the magnitude of the education effects. It is also possible that these gender differences may actually capture occupation and industry differences in jobs held by gender that are not specified in our model. Several more detailed occupation groups, such as management and computer and mathematical science, have a high percentage of employees who bring work home, are male-dominated occupations, and constitute a large percentage of total employees in our sample. In the ATUS, those paid hourly are seven percent less likely to bring work home than salaried employees. From the CPS supplement, we find that older employees are more likely to bring work home than younger employees. We also find some small differences in the probability of bringing work home between those who have children and those who do not. In the CPS Supplement in both 2001 and 2004, we find that men with a child aged 0-5 are more likely to bring work home than men without children; in 2001, fathers whose youngest child was elementary school-aged were also more likely to bring work home than males without chi
