Multiple jobholders with a work-related musculoskeletal disorder less likely to return to work than single jobholders

April 2018: Our new study in PLOS ONE examined the association between multiple versus single jobholding and time to RTW for workers with a work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Multiple jobholders were less likely to RTW compared to single jobholders within the first six months after the first time-loss day, with greater and longer lasting effects for males, workers with a serious injury, and a higher wage.
