Is Any Job Better than Not Having a Job?
Episode 17
Wednesday, 28 August, 2024

We’ve all heard the advice that any job is better than no job, but is that really true? In this episode, I discussed a study by Chandola and Zhang (2018) titled “Re-employment, job quality, health, and allostatic load biomarkers: prospective evidence from the UK Household Longitudinal Study” that followed unemployed adults to see how different types of jobs impact health. I broke down what the researchers found, why poor-quality jobs might be worse for your health, than staying unemployed, and what it means for those facing tough job decisions. Image by Freepik
