AMERICANS – ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR – ARE MORE RELUCTANT TO TAKE SICK DAYS THAN THEY WERE A YEAR AGO.
THAT’S ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY OF 2,000 EMPLOYED AMERICANS CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF THERAFLU.
THEY FOUND NEARLY THREE IN FOUR (71%) LATINA WOMEN ARE HESITANT TO TAKE A SICK DAY FROM WORK, WHEREAS ONLY ABOUT HALF (52%) OF THE WHITE WOMEN SAY THE SAME.
OVERALL, TWO IN THREE (67%) EMPLOYEES HAVE AVOIDED SICK DAYS OUT OF FEAR OF BEING REPRIMANDED. THAT’S NEARLY A 10 PERCENT INCREASE (58%) FROM THE SAME SURVEY CONDUCTED LAST YEAR (AUGUST 2021).
RESULTS ALSO SHOW NEARLY TWO IN THREE (64%) WOULD FEEL A FINANCIAL STRAIN AFTER TAKING A SICK DAY.
