Burnout crisis | One in three workers use substances to manage job stress

A new study has revealed that one in three workers are using substances during the workday to manage stress, with younger employees significantly more likely to report daily use as they face job insecurity, economic pressure, and limited support from employers.

The findings, released by SubstanceAbuseCounselor.org, are based on a survey of 1,000 working-age adults across a mix of industries, roles and employment statuses. Participants answered questions relating to workplace culture, economic strain, and access to mental health resources.
