How the Health of Employees Effects the Workplace

• 54% of Americans who experience low back pain spend the majority of their workday sitting.
• 60 - 80% of people that have recovered from back pain have a recurrence within two years, with another 7% becoming chronic.
• According to PubMed, an estimated 149 million work days per year are missed due to low back pain.
• "The condition is also costly with total costs estimated to be between 100–200 billion dollars annually, two-thirds of which are due to decreased wages and productivity." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4339077/
  
• Back pain is the leading cause of disability in Americans under 45 years old. More than 26 million Americans between the ages of 20-64 experience frequent back pain.
  
• Other musculoskeletal pain (5.5 hours/week) and arthritis or back pain (5.2 hours/week) produced the largest amounts of lost productive time. *
• Headache produced, on average, 3.5 hours of lost productive time per week. *
• Lost productive time from common painful conditions was estimated to be $61.2 billion per year, while 76.6% of lost productive time was explained by reduced work performance, not absenteeism. *
