; (C) pursue workforce training; (D) get or keep a second job, which many workers need to make ends meet; (E) plan for and access transportation to reach worksites; and (F) qualify for and maintain eligibility for needed public benefits and work supports, such as child care subsidies and benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program, due to fluctuations in income and work hours. (5) A growing body of research demonstrates that unstable and unpredictable work schedules have significant detrimental impacts on sleep quality, mental health, and happiness, and are associated with unstable child care arrangements and negative health and behavioral outcomes for children. These work schedules—and the work-family conflict they produce—are also associated with higher rates of turnover, which creates further instability for employers and workers. Workers of color are also more likely than their White counterparts, even compared to White coworkers at the same company, to experience unstable work schedules. For example: (A) Unstable work schedules lead to more household economic strain and time conflicts, and hurt the well-being of parents. While household economic strain, time conflicts, and the well-being of parents may all negatively impact the health and behavior of a child, a parent's well-being is the most significant factor in determining the behavior and health outcomes of a child. The more severe the work schedule instability, the worse the child's behavior and health outcomes. (B) The exposure of a parent to on-call shifts and last-minute shift changes are associated with more unstable child care arrangements and with the use of siblings to provide care. (C) Work schedule instability causes more work-family conflict, which increases the chance that a worker will be forced to leave his or her job. This turnover is associated with downward mobility of the worker's earnings. (D) (i) Relative to White workers, workers of color are more likely to— (I) have cancelled shifts; (II) have on-call shifts
