Apart from earnings adequacy, occupations characterized by dimensions of precarity were associated with lower LLM exposure (i.e., higher precarity on those dimensions corresponded to lower LLM exposure).
Abstract statement summarizing regression results across separate models for each precarity dimension (exact coefficients not provided in abstract).
Occupations most likely to be exposed to LLM are those where precariousness is lowest.
Summary conclusion based on the reported comparisons of mean LLM exposure across precarity categories using the Labour Force Survey and regression analyses described in methods.
Apart from earnings adequacy, LLM exposure was lower among occupations exhibiting each separate dimension of precarity (contractual instability, schedule unpredictability, working-time mismatch).
Separate multivariate linear regression models (one per precarity dimension) estimated associations between occupational LLM exposure and each dimension using Canada's Labour Force Survey; results reported in abstract (no per-dimension effect sizes provided in abstract).
Using the multidimensional precarity index, occupations characterized by low exposure to precarity had a significantly higher mean LLM exposure (mean 0.386, 95% confidence interval 0.356-0.417) compared to occupations with medium (mean 0.258, 95% CI 0.221-0.295), high (mean 0.260, 95% CI 0.194-0.328) or very high precarity (mean 0.205, 95% CI 0.136-0.275).
