| The Unemployed Exercise More But Get Less Exercise |
| Working people expend more physical energy than the unemployed, even though they spend an average of 27% fewer minutes exercising each day because of the demands of their jobs, according to Gregory J. Colman of Pace University and Dhaval M. Dave of Bentley University. In a study of thousands of U.S. workers, the researchers found that after employees are laid off, their total daily physical exertion declines between 21% and 24%, despite increased levels of recreational exercise. |
