Arthritis and You in the Workplace
A Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that
arthritis limits millions of working Americans’ productivity, activity,
or ability to work. According to the Arthritis Foundation’s coverage of
the report, state-specific data shows those reporting arthritis-related
work limitations ranged from 25 percent in Nevada to 51 percent in
Kentucky. The state median is 33 percent. These significant statistics
come with a price tag with another CDC study showing state-specific
earning losses in 2003 which ranged from $78 million to $4.3 billion
due to arthritis. In that same year, the total cost of arthritis to the
U.S. economy was $128 billion.
A previously released CDC report
also shows unemployment is higher in every state among people with
arthritis. CDC also anticipates that the number of people with
arthritis will increase significantly over the next few years,
resulting in a loss of human resources and a greater economic impact
across the country.
