Here Are 5 Careers That Can Majorly Wreck Your Health
Americans are well-known for their tendency to work until burnout. And a recent survey from NPR adds to a mounting pile of research that some jobs can really hurt your health.
For their survey, NPR collaborated with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health to ask about 1,600 Americans how they feel their jobs affect issues like their eating and sleep habits, stress levels and social lives. In general, 16 percent of workers said they think their jobs have a bad impact on their health as a whole. But in some industries, that number was much higher.
These 5 industries included the highest percentage of respondents who said work has a negative impact on their health:
1. Retail outlets, 26 percent
2. Construction or outdoor work, 23 percent
3. Factory or manufacturing, 21 percent
4. Medical, 19 percent
5. Store, 16 percent
Among survey respondents, the biggest concerns about workplace health were chemicals and contaminants, unhealthy air and accidents or injuries. A 24 percent of office workers said that long sitting hours as a concern, echoing recent research that shows sedentary jobs can contribute to all sorts of health problems.
Of course, there are many ways to ease the tension between your job and your health. But one of the most obvious self-care tricks, taking a vacation day, which is widely underused, according to the report.
Some workers are given vacation days but do not use them.
Among workers whose companies give them paid vacation days, only 49 percent said they used most or all of their available days last year, according to the survey.
