A couple more interesting snippets: > Unemployed people who had obtained optimal jobs between the surveys showed better improvement in mental health when compared to those who remained unemployed. However, moving from unemployment to poor quality employment showed greater negative effects than staying unemployed. That sounds consistent with my experience. >Not all aspects of psychosocial job quality, like social support at work, were assessed in this study. A few of the results could have been biased, so the study cannot be generalized. Ha. Edit: I pulled those quotes from the link "recent study" in the first paragraph: http://www.fyiliving.com/research/unemployment-and-job-satisfaction-impact-mental-health/ http://www.fyiliving.com/research/unemployment-and-job-satis... This looks like a synopsis of the study results. Not to be confused with the PDF of the actual study, at the bottom of the synopsis.
