“…Here, the ‘better than before’ pattern from Sardadvar et al (2017) might be an explanatory factor. Studies on re-employment or in-work benefits (Grün et al, 2010; Schröter, 2015) have shown that workers who recently re-entered the labour market also have a higher satisfaction. However, household poverty in interaction with low-wage employment seems to diminish job satisfaction.…”

Previous research has established that low-wage earners have on average lower job satisfaction. However, several studies have found personal characteristics, such as gender, age and educational level, moderate this negative impact. This article demonstrates additional factors at the household level, which have not yet been empirically investigated, and which may exacerbate gender differences. The authors analyse the job satisfaction of low-wage earners depending on the contribution of individual earnings to the household income and on household deprivation using the 2013 special wave of the EU-SILC for 18 European countries. The study finds that single earners in low-wage employment report lower job satisfaction whereas low-wage employment does not seem to make a difference for secondary earners. Furthermore, low-wage earners’ job satisfaction is linked with the ability of their household to make ends meet.
