married people. If we look at married couples who each have paying
jobs, about one-quarter to one-third of these couples have at least
one partner who is a shiftworker. If we look at mothers with children
at home, single mothers work shifts more often than married mothers.
Employee Reasons to Do Shiftwork
Some workers actually prefer non-day work, but most do not seek
out shiftwork. Reasons for employees choosing shiftwork include
better pay, more available time during the day for child care, more
daylight hours for recreation, and more time to attend school. Some
workers prefer the night shift because it is quieter and there are fewer
supervisors. Usually, however, workers say they did not choose shift-
work. They do it either because it is required of the job, or no other
job is available.
