The 10 Industries With The Most Depressed Workers

The U.S. is seriously depressed, with about one in 10 American adults reporting depression.

Just as depression varies from state to state, and between the employed and unemployed, rates vary significantly by industry, finds a new study we first saw written up at Discover.

The percentage of workers who are depressed ranges from 6.9% in the amusement-recreation industry to 16.2% in the passenger-transit industry. Researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the University of Cincinnati, and Highmark Inc. (a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurer) collaborated on the report, published in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.
