London, Aug 12 (PTI) People working in low-paying or highly stressful jobs are more likely to face health problems than those who remain unemployed, scientists, including one of Indian origin, have found. Researchers at The University of Manchester in the UK monitored over 1,000 participants aged between 35 and 75 years who were unemployed during 2009-2010. Adults who found a good quality job had the lowest levels of biomarkers, researchers said. They noted that good quality work was associated with an improvement in mental health scores compared to remaining unemployed, but there were no differences in mental health scores between those who transitioned into poor quality work and those who remained unemployed. Just as good work is good for health, we must also remember that poor quality work can be detrimental to health," said Chandola.
