They asked about 1,600 Americans how they feel their jobs affect factors like their eating and sleep habits, stress levels and social lives. Overall, 16 percent of workers said they think their jobs have a bad impact on their health as a whole. But in some industries, that number was significantly higher.

Of course, there are many ways to ease the tension between your job and your health. But taking a vacation day, goes widely underused, according to the report.
当然有很多方法能缓解工作和健康之间的紧张关系，但是报告显示广泛应用的一个方法就是休假。

然而上面提到的这些行业中很多都没有休假，这些低收入的工作中40%都不提供健康保险。
