In a recession those who are employed are very grateful to be working! As happy as employees are they’re not that healthy!
According to Health.com
One in three workers has at least one symptom of clinical depression; 41% say they feel stressed sometimes, often, or very often; and one in five has trouble falling asleep often or very often. In all, 14% are being treated for high cholesterol and one in five is taking blood-pressure-lowering medication.
However, some workplaces are healthier than others. Six factors make a difference, Ellen Galinsky, the Families and Work Institute’s president and cofounder says. Workers may feel healthier if they have “learning opportunities and challenge, a good fit between work and personal life, autonomy, having a supervisor who supports job success, economic security—no surprise in this economy—and a work climate of respect and trust,” she says.
