Working a regular night shift or night hours is a relatively uncommon type of schedule, accounting for 1.7% of all workers in their main job in April 2022. However, tracking this type of schedule provides important information on a group of workers who may experience more challenges balancing their work and personal life. Industries where a higher proportion of workers usually work at night include transportation and warehousing, business, building and other support services, and retail trade. Landed immigrants, as well as Filipino and Black workers, were more likely to work at night.
