U.S. Work World — Quick Tip News

FOR WORKERS UNDER 30

MENTAL HEALTH IS THE TOP PRIORITY

In a recent study, 50% of 18- to 29-year-olds consider their job or career to be a priority, but a job or career is second to other life components — most of which are known to help maintain or improve mental health. 

In addition, this study found that relationships are especially important for 16- to 24-years-olds who experienced a reduction in critical face-to-face contact due to COVID-19. 

Supporting the study's findings is the fact that 33% of 18-29 year olds have quit their job to support their mental health.
