Highlights from the 2024 Work in America survey

The research was conducted online in the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of APA among 2,027 employed adults. The survey was conducted March 25–April 3, 2024. Respondents were recontacted and asked an additional question. Fielding for the recontact took place from between April 25–30, 2024. 932 of the 2,027 responded to the recontact.

Data are weighted where necessary by age by gender, race/ethnicity, region, education, marital status, household size, work status, household income, and smoking status to bring them in line with their actual proportions in the population.

Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in these surveys. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within ±3.1 percentage points using a 95% confidence level. This credible interval will be wider among subsets of the surveyed population of interest.

All sample surveys and polls, whether they use probability sampling or not, are subject to other multiple sources of error, which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including, but not limited to coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and postsurvey weighting and adjustments.
