Abstract
I examine the effect of job insecurity and job degradation on the sense of personal control.
Analyses of two waves of panel observations from a national survey of American workers reveal that prolonged job insecurity is associated with reduced personal control – and this effect increases with age.
I also examine whether insecurity is associated with deteriorating job quality and whether degradation reduces personal control. Recent insecurity is associated with increased job pressures, while prolonged insecurity is associated with decreased decision-making latitude.
I find no evidence, however, that changes in job quality explain the relationship between job insecurity and personal control.

Sexual Orientation and Occupational Attainment
an article by Koji Ueno, Abráham E. Peña-Talamantes and Teresa A. Roach (Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA) published in
Work and Occupations Volume 40 Number 1 (February 2013)
Abstract
Research shows that sexual minorities and heterosexuals differ in the level of success in educational and earnings attainment, but differences in occupational attainment have been unclear.
To extend the literature, this article examines sexual orientation differences in young adulthood occupational status by analysing the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Waves 1 to 4.
Drawing from the life course literature, a theoretical framework is developed to explain how sexual orientation shifts opportunities and constraints in the occupational attainment process. The analysis shows that the association between sexual orientation and occupational status depends on gender, the type of sexual experience used to measure sexual orientation, and the timing of first sexual experience.
Women who report their first same-sex attraction or sexual contact in young adulthood have lower occupational status than those without such experience, and men who report their first same-sex dating relationships in young adulthood tend to have higher occupational status than those without such relationships.
These findings extend the existing knowledge on sexual development and status attainment, which has mainly focused on heterosexual development.
