Every business owner desires productive and content employees. With a slowdown in the economy and discussions of war, gas prices on the upswing again, the financial crisis and increased layoffs, many Americans may be experiencing high levels of stress.

One of the biggest strains employees currently are dealing with is the ongoing recession. Whether an employee has been personally affected, everyone is feeling some tension from the recession. When asked about the recent financial crisis, almost half of Americans said they are increasingly stressed about their ability to provide for their families basic needs, according to the American Psychological Association’s 2008 Stress in America Survey.

Losing your job can make you feel lousy. Whether you’re fired or laid-off, joining the ranks of the unemployed is not exactly a feel-good event. You don’t need a study to tell you that.

But what impact does losing a job have on your health? Could a layoff send a perfectly healthy person into a downward spiral of sickness? It’s possible, says Kate Strully, a sociologist at State University of New York in Albany. In her new study published in the journal Demography, Strully analyzed a variety of job loss situations — including being fired or laid off or losing a job after the entire company shut down — and found that job loss may indeed trigger serious physical and physiological illness.
