BUS DRIVERS GET SICK

Not news to those of us who did it;

5. Transportation
> Number of days missed: 0.40
> Cost of lost productivity: $3.5 billion
> Unhealthy weight or chronic health condition: 86.0%
> Job types: Bus drivers, flight attendants, air traffic controllers

Transportation workers include taxi, truck and bus drivers, as well as delivery company employees. People in such jobs received the lowest well-being index score from Gallup-Healthways, due largely to poor self-evaluations, poor levels of emotional health and the lowest evaluations of their work environments of any workers. Additionally, the percentage of transportation workers who had been told they had diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure were higher than for all other occupations. Transportation workers were also the most likely to have either an unhealthy weight or a chronic health condition.
