This paper examines differences in life satisfaction and its various domains among employees in the Mexican labor market. We found that formal long-term subordinates have higher levels of satisfaction than other types of employment. The self-employed and employers are more satisfied with their free time but not with other domains of satisfaction, while informal subordinates have disadvantages in almost all satisfaction domains vis-à-vis formal long-term subordinates. The formal/informal dichotomy seems to be insufficient to describe levels of satisfaction of subordinate employees, since formal short-term subordinates have major disadvantages with respect to long-term formal ones.

Keywords : Informality; use of time; labor segmentation; life satisfaction; J81; I31; O17.
