16个最近的纵向研究检查证据有关的说法，改变一个人的就业状况会影响一个人的心理健康。尽管这组研究存在局限性，但大多数研究都支持这种声称的关系。然后对这种效应的大小进行了检验。在进行这项研究时，我们将研究结果分为两类：(a)有关就业对心理健康的影响程度的研究结果；(b)处理失业对心理健康影响程度问题的报告。荟萃分析表明，其加权效应值为。第一个问题为54，第二个问题的加权效应值较小（0.36）。
Sixteen recent longitudinal studies are examined for evidence relevant to the claim that a change to one's employment status affects one's mental health. Although there were Limitations to the set of studies examined, most of the studies supported this claimed relationship. Examination was then made of the size of this effect. In carrying out this examination, the set of study results were divided into two categories: (a) those addressing the question of the extent to which gaining employment impacts on mental well-being; (b) those addressing the question of the extent to which employment loss impacts on mental health. The meta-analyses indicated that there was a weighted effect size of .54 for the first question, and a smaller weighted effect size (.36) for the latter question.
