最近，全国相当多的注意力集中在非法药物使用的不良后果上。虽然有几项研究估计了非法药物使用与工资之间的关系，但研究结果并不一致。令人惊讶的是，一些研究人员发现，年轻人的工资和吸毒之间存在积极的统计学显著关系。受这一反直觉发现的启发，本文汇编了六个工作场所员工的独特数据，以探讨吸毒、工资和缺勤之间的关系。通过对当前和终生药物使用的各种测量，并考虑酒精使用的共同因素，作者发现药物使用与工资和缺勤之间的关系（直接和间接）主要不显著，无论性别如何。
Considerable national attention has focused recently on the adverse consequences of illicit drug use. While several studies estimate the relationship between illicit drug use and wages, the findings are inconsistent. Surprisingly, some researchers identify a positive and statistically significant relationship between wages and drug use for young adults. Motivated by this counter-intuitive finding, this paper compiles unique data on employees at six worksites in order to explore the relationships among drug use, wages, and absenteeism. Using various measures of current and lifetime drug use and accounting for alcohol-use comorbidity, the authors find predominantly insignificant relationships (both direct and indirect) between drug use and both wages and absenteeism, regardless of gender.
