Bad jobs are worse for you than unemployment

Australian research that reveals being miserable in a job is worse for your mental health than being unemployed is making headlines around the world.

A team from the Center for Mental Health at The Australian National University in Canberra analyzed data from more than 7000 people to find that jobs offering little control, poor recognition and low pay were a greater risk to mental health than no job at all.

The research team claim the findings have huge implications for prevailing government social policy that promote “the notion that any job is better than none as work promotes economic as well as personal well-being.”
