This study examined the factors influencing the health status according to class and socioeconomic class recognition by the employment type. To take advantage of the 18 original sources of the Korea Labor panel materials carried out in the South Korea Labor Institute, 5,158 adults over 20 years old were included in the final analysis. The research results revealed that the incomes of regular workers and non-regular workers between the hierarchy and socioeconomic hierarchy recognition showed a statistically significant difference between the cage; it was consistent between the hierarchy in only the "heavy" category. Regular workers of society, and regardless of non-regular workers, were analyzed to be relatively low compared to the actual income. Regression analysis showed that regular jobs had higher socioeconomic hierarchy recognition. Non-regular workers had a lower income bracket and lower socioeconomic hierarchy recognition. In particular, in the case of non-regular workers, the pension was not subscribed and they had a poorer state of health. Therefore, the pension insurance payment for non-regular workers needs to compensate for the lost income during non-employment periods. In addition, the government should improve public relations through education, management fields, and cooperation with labor.
