In the United States, natural disasters have increased in frequency and intensity, causing significant damage to communities, infrastructure, and human life. Migrant workers form part of a growing occupational group that rebuilds in the aftermath of natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes. The work these migrant workers perform is essential but also unstable, exploitative, and dangerous, which stresses their health and well-being. This study focuses on the health and well-being of migrant roofers, a precarious occupational group who restores communities and helps the U.S. population adjust to a climate-changed world. Using surveys (n = 365) and in-depth interviews (n = 58) from a convenience sample of migrant roofers, we examine how precarity in terms of employment, housing, and legal status affect the sleep outcomes of these workers, who derive their income from an industry where instability is the norm, live in substandard and irregular housing, and lack workplace protections given their legal status.

住房、就业和法律不稳定如何影响农民工的睡眠：一项混合方法研究


在美国，自然灾害的频率和强度不断增加，对社区、基础设施和人类生活造成了重大损害。移民工人是一个不断壮大的职业群体的一部分，该群体在飓风和龙卷风等自然灾害后进行重建。这些农民工从事的工作至关重要，但也不稳定、具有剥削性和危险性，这对他们的健康和福祉造成了压力。这项研究的重点是移民屋顶工的健康和福祉，这是一个不稳定的职业群体，他们恢复社区并帮助美国人民适应气候变化的世界。通过对移民屋顶工人的便利样本进行调查（n = 365）和深入访谈（n = 58），我们研究了就业、住房和法律地位方面的不稳定如何影响这些工人的睡眠结果，他们得出了他们的睡眠结果。来自不稳定的行业的收入是常态，居住在不合格和不规则的住房中，并且由于其法律地位而缺乏工作场所保护。
