This assumption of unidimensionality is highly questionable, not least because the larger phenomenon of economic (as opposed to job) insecurity is already commonly taken to be multidimensional. For one study, it comprises, in addition to job insecurity, loss of health insurance and victimization by burglary. See Jeff Dominitz and Charles F. Manski, Perceptions of Economic Insecurity: Evidence from the Survey of Economic Expectations, Public Opinion Quarterly, 61 Spring 1997, 261-87

The United States analysis is based on a survey of 1,265 adults conducted between December 3 and 6, 1996, using random digit dialing. The data are weighted to take account of household size and number of telephone lines into the residence and to adjust for variations in the sample relating to geographic region, race, gender, age, and education. The survey is available from the Roper Center at the University of Connecticut, archive number USNYT95-012. The Australian data are taken from the 1998 Australian Election Study, which is available from the Social Science Data Archive at the Australian National University. Its study number is 1001.

The question used to tap this form of job insecurity in Australia and the U.S. is: In your community these days, how easy is it for someone who is trying to find a job to get a good job at good wages - very easy, somewhat easy, somewhat hard, or very hard? A similar question that refers instead to the ease of finding an acceptable job is used in Torben Iversen and David Soskice, An Asset Theory of Social Policy Preferences, American Political Science Review, 95 (December 2001), 882.

Difference-of-means tests show the insecurity measures to be different from each other at very high levels of statistical significance, 001 or better, This conclusion also holds when their medians are compared to allow for the possibility that the assumption of normal and equal-variance population distributions inherent in the t-test is violated.

The actual text of the question is: My next questions are about what are often called 'job lay-offs, by that we don't mean temporary or seasonal lay-offs. We mean people losing their jobs due to employer downsizing, reductions-in-force, corporate re-structuring, permanent plant closings, jobs moving overseas, or jobs just permanently disappearing. In the past 15 years, since 1980-was there any time YOU experienced THAT type of job lay-off, Emphasis in the original, Respondents who answered yes were than asked: How many different jobs have you been laid off from? A separate question asked respondents: In the past 15 years-since 1980-was there anyone else in your household who has ever experienced that type of job lay-off? The household layoffs measure combines the responses to these two questions

Although matching data can not be generated for Australia, only 16.2 percent of Americans who felt secure in their jobs had themselves been laid off since 1980. Of those who were very worried about imminent job loss, 38.1 percent had been laid off in the same time period, When other layoffs in their household are included, the matching figures for these same two groups are 23.6 percent and 55.5 percent

Individualism is not the only explanation of the U.S. nonfindings, of course. Competing with, or even complementing, it is a structural difference in the pension systems of the two countries. Social security payments to the aged in America are less tightly linked to the ups and downs in income during working lives, so that short-term interruptions in earned income may not have a strong effect on perceptions of economic insecurity. In Australia, by contrast, most people rely on an employment-based, defined contribution pension whose value is more directly tied to fluctuations in earned income. The greater risk and unpredictability associated with the Australian system may help to explain the stronger demand for institutionalized welfare provision there. I am indebted to my colleague, Sarah Brooks, for alerting me to this important difference between the countries
