Full Publication: Psychological distress is more common in some occupations and increases with job tenure: a thirty-seven year panel study in the United States
Objective
Workers in certain occupations may have elevated risks of psychological distress. However, research is limited. For example, researchers often measure distress that may have existed before occupational exposures. We studied occupations and the development of psychological distress using national data from the United States.
