One reason that nursing homes are a primary source of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the United States may be that workers hold multiple jobs. We use 2010-2019 Current Population Survey data to document the rate of second jobholding among nursing and long-term care workers. On average, 6.41% of personal care and nursing aides and 6.23% of licensed practical nurses and registered nurses hold second jobs; second job holding rates are 35% and 32% higher than those of other workers, respectively. Both wages and hours in the primary job are negatively associated with the probability of holding a second job for personal care and nursing aides, while lower hours are more strongly correlated with a second job for registered nurses and licensed practical nurses. Many of these workers move across health settings from their first to second jobs, and 15% of second jobs for personal care and nursing aides are in other "essential" occupations.
养老院是美国 COVID-19 感染和死亡的主要源头之一，其中一个原因可能是工作人员身兼数职。我们使用了 2010-2019 年的当前人口调查数据，记录了护理和长期护理人员从事第二份工作的比率。平均而言，有 6.41%的个人护理和护士助理以及 6.23%的有执照的实用护士和注册护士从事第二份工作；与其他工人相比，第二份工作的比例分别高出 35%和 32%。对于个人护理和护士助理来说，第一份工作的工资和工作时间与从事第二份工作的概率呈负相关，而对于注册护士和有执照的实用护士来说，工作时间较短与从事第二份工作的相关性更强。许多工人从第一份工作到第二份工作都在不同的卫生机构之间流动，个人护理和护士助理的第二份工作中有 15%是在其他“必不可少”的职业中。
