Education, job insecurity affect injured worker outcomes: study

摘要

Cambridge, MA - Workers who lack a high school diploma are likely to miss more work after an injury than workers with more extensive educational backgrounds, according to a study from the Workers Compensation Research Institute. This was one of several findings presented by WCRI during an Oct. 16 webinar. Researchers analyzed data from more than 3,200 workers who were injured in 2010 and interviewed in 2013 to track their progress in regard to speed and sustainability of return to work, health recovery, earnings recovery, access to health care and other factors.
