Existing research on perceived employment insecurity tends to focus on perceptions of job insecurity (a worker’s perception of how vulnerable their position is with their current employer). This study examines perceived labor market insecurity (a worker’s assessment of their job prospects in the broader labor market) alongside perceived job insecurity. The author uses individual-level General Social Survey and publicly available state-level data from 1977 to 2012 to determine and identify strategies of flexible accumulation (e.g., deindustrialization, deunionization, and financialization) that may be associated with these outcomes. The findings indicate that these strategies are associated with greater levels of perceived job insecurity but are not significant for perceived labor market insecurity, which is only positively associated with unemployment at the state level. The author also finds that individual-level factors such as income and part-time status have differing effects for each outcome. In a time characterized by higher levels of employer-employee detachment, these findings have important implications for the study of employment insecurity.

弹性积累和感知的就业不安全感的策略：有联系吗？

现有的关于就业不安全感的研究倾向于集中在对工作不安全感的理解上（工人对他们在当前雇主中的地位有多脆弱的看法）。这项研究检验了感知的劳动力市场不安全感（工人对其在更广阔的劳动力市场中的工作前景的评估）以及感知的工作不安全感。作者使用个人水平的一般社会调查和1977年至2012年的公共可用状态数据来确定和确定可能与这些结果相关的灵活积累策略（例如，去工业化，去工会化和金融化）。研究结果表明，这些策略与较高的工作不安全感相关联，但对于劳动力市场的不安全感并不重要，这仅与州一级的失业呈正相关。作者还发现，收入和兼职状况等个人层面的因素对每个结局都有不同的影响。在以雇主-雇员离职率较高为特征的时代，这些发现对研究就业不安全感具有重要意义。
