CNN article entitled "For Mental Health, Bad Job Better Than No Job." This article reports on recent research indicating that for some people, taking a "bad" job just to pay the bills is emotionally more stressful than being unemployed. The article also posits that bad managers are the primary source of stress, creating bad work situations that contribute to emotional and physical distress. How do we help unemployed individuals find work that is satisfying and meaningful in a rapid way? What might be ways to manage work stress in a healthy way?
