Which Jobs Lead to Substance Abuse?

Substance abuse is attributed to a number of causes, some genetic and others due to societal aspects. High stress, long hours, and fatigue are commonly cited causes of substance abuse, in addition to remote supervision and easy access to substances. Sometimes, even boredom can cause one to abuse drugs, the use of which has attributed to about four billion lost work hours in the United States alone.

Americans consume 60% of the world’s illegal drugs, so it’s a domestic issue that many should be aware of. Whatever the trigger, substance abuse can lead to decreased motivation at work. Studies show that workers reporting illicit drug or alcohol use are more likely to skip work over two days in a month, while also using sick time leave three times more frequently than the average worker. They were also more likely to miss more than two days of work because of injury, the chance of which increases when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The impact of substance abuse on an employee also affects their company loyalty. Employees who abuse substances are five times more likely to file worker’s compensation claims, and are almost 4 times more likely to get injured in the workplace. Substance abusers are a greater liability to a company and all of its workers. 10 to 20% of American workers who died at work tested positive for drugs and alcohol, one of many statistics that show their increased liability to the company and all co-workers surrounding them, especially in industries where machinery is used, like mining and construction – which has the highest rates of drug use among employees.

Understanding The State Of The Internship

With 24.9 percent of college students now completing their first internship during their sophomore year, the landscape of internships is changing. This means an employer's intern recruiting and hiring methods need to be continually, too–or they risk losing out on the best talent available.

These internship trends aren’t only relevant to larger corporations boasting big internship programs. Even companies that only take on one intern a year need to know when students start looking, what channels they’re frequenting the most, and what kind of perks they find most enticing. 

Take a look at the current state of the internship in this infographic compiled by InternMatch, an online platform connecting the best intern candidates and employers.

Asthma Statistics of Children

Created by Just Nebulizers, a company which provides nebulizers, humidifiers, and other respiratory care products to those with respiratory problems, this infographic shows the prevalence of childhood asthma, the cost of treating it, and how the condition can affect a child’s education. 

One in 10 children are affected by childhood asthma. The condition is the second most prevalent childhood condition, the first being obesity. African Americans are twice as likely to have asthma than Caucasian or Hispanic children. The infographic also explains that the use of a spacer increases drug delivery from an inhaler by 4-6 fold. This is important to address as 85% of patients can bring their asthma under control with education and supervision. 

Asthma statistics were pulled from various sources, including Centers for Disease Control (CDC), American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), and World Health Organization (WHO). For more information on asthma and asthma treatments, please visit justNebulizers.com
