The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says one in 27 working adults experienced serious psychological distress in 2021.
According to the report, people working the night shift were twice as likely to report psychological distress than those on the day shift.
Rates of distress were also significantly higher among workers who did not have paid sick leave and those with inconsistent schedule and pay.
