American policymakers have long focused on work as a key means to improve economic wellbeing Yet, work has become increasingly precarious and polarized This precarity is manifest in low wages but also in unstable and unpredictable work schedules that often vary significantly week to week with little advance notice We draw on new survey data from The Shift Project on 37,263 hourly retail and food service workers in the United States We assess the association between routine unpredictability in work schedules and household material hardship Using both cross-sectional models and panel models, we find that workers who receive shorter advanced notice, those who work on-call, those who experience last minute shift cancellation and timing changes, and those with more volatile work hours are more likely to experience hunger, residential, medical, and utility hardships as well as more overall hardship Just-in-time work schedules afford employers a great deal of flexibility but at a heavy cost to workers’ economic security
