Is Your Job Making You Sick?

that stress

So a lot of us have been sick of our jobs before. But a new study is saying that many of us are sick in our jobs.


This gist is that lots of employees are feeling stressed--and unhealthier because of it. The research says that one in three workers has at least one symptom of clinical depression; 14 percent is being treated for high cholesterol; 20 percent is taking blood-pressure medication; 41 percent is stressed by work; and one in five workers has trouble sleeping. And, overall, the number of employees who say they're in "excellent health" has dropped from 34 percent in 2002 to 28 percent in 2008.
