The stress of unemployment can bring on heart disease, stroke, and even diabetes. According to one source, “Among those who lost their job through no fault of their own because their workplace relocated or folded altogether, the odds of their reporting “fair or poor” health after their job loss increased by 54 per cent.” Even if an employee was in good health before their job loss, they were still likely to develop a chronic condition afterward. The study suggests that job loss involves so much more than loss of income. Things like self-esteem are also affected. Image: sxc.hu.
