Relevance – Information about the causes and antecedents of voluntary job separation is needed to inform return to work and job retention interventions as well as public disability employment policies.

Used stepped multivariable logistic regression analysis to examine the effect of variables on the likelihood of quitting.

Voluntary separation was less likely for: – Older workers. – Members of racial/ethnic minority groups. – Those residing in regions with lower unemployment rates.

Job separation antecedents reflect the concentration of jobs for workers with psychiatric disabilities in the secondary labor market: – Low salary. – Temporary. – Part-time.
