The impact of 9/11 on hours of work in the United States

Julie Hotchkiss and Olga Pavlova

No 2004-16, FRB Atlanta Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine whether workers? commitment to the labor force declined after 9/11, as many popular press accounts at the time suggested it would. The results indicate that any measured decline in hours spent working was the result of economic conditions rather than changes in desired hours of work. Controlling for economic conditions, hours of work after 9/11 actually increased on average compared to before 9/11; no significant change in hours spent working occurred among residents of New York City, however.
