Using a novel method of online sampling and recruitment, we field surveys to workers at over 150 of the largest companies in retail, food service, grocery, delivery and fulfillment, and hospitality. We provide unique measurement of the reality of working conditions, including work scheduling, access to paid leave, workplace surveillance, and labor standards violations. We pair this in-depth measurement of job quality with detailed measures of financial security and of the health and wellbeing of workers and their families. We recruit participants through targeted Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, focusing on employees of major U.S. companies. Those who click on the ad are taken to a survey landing page and invited to consent to participate and complete the survey via Qualtrics. As an incentive, participants who complete the national survey and provide contact details are entered into a $500 gift card lottery. In addition to cross-sectional data, we collect panel and oversample data.
