Major Occupations and Private Insurance of Working Postpartum Women in Poverty in the United States, 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although working postpartum women in poverty still have unmet medical needs, relevant research is lacking. Thus, we aimed to determine the five most frequent occupations of U.S. postpartum women in poverty and further examine whether the most frequent occupations are associated with poverty/being uninsured by an employer.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study. We included women who had a job and gave birth within the last 12 months from a 2019 American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample. To examine the associations between the most frequent occupations and being in poverty/uninsured through an employer/union, we used age- and race-adjusted and multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models.

Results

A total of 14.3% of working postpartum women
