Introduction
The current problem in the United States of America is the mere fact that healthcare costs are rising slowly but continuously instead of maintaining at a reasonable level or decreasing for the benefit of those who live in poverty. Moreover, unskilled or low skilled adult workers are far away from the reach of a healthy life for themselves as wee as for their children and these circumstances also prove to be demeaning in the way that the kids of these unskilled and low skilled workers may never be able to achieve a well-educated life for themselves either. Because of their income deficit, that is only increasing, and general susceptibility to depression, students who drop out of high schools before they get the chance to graduate maintain a higher risk for both physical and mental health problems later on in life.
Background
Historical Employment
It is quite apparent that unskilled workers didn’t have much problems in the past since they had a lot of welfare benefits for themselves, in particular during the Roosevelt years. They were compensated for with utmost responsibility and didn’t have any prohibition from joining a particular union or demanding a wage rate that was fair for them. The unskilled workers were never charged less for more work and were paid in adequate compensations instead of illegal and bereft payments. The payments were also always on time and according to the needs of the workers. Even skillsets of different kind were provided to unskilled workers so as to teach them how to work and how to avoid termination of contracts.
Historical healthcare
It is also of great importance to understand that unskilled workers were provided all kinds of health facilities and services through welfare programs and government legislation. These people were not thrown away to rot on their own or be left without any medical attention once they had begun to work for a particular company. These unskilled workers were medically treated for any harm that they may have faced during working hours or any harm that was caused to them in relevance to their work.
The connection between Employment and Education
There is a predominant cycle that has taken control over the lower working class and this cycle only seems to get worse rather than improve on its own. The government ignores and neglects this cycle and doesn’t seem concerned with the cycle unlike previous governments from the 20th Century. This cycle demonstrates unskilled workers who aren’t paid enough to afford good education for their children. This leads the children of such workers to remain uneducated or less educated than most people and this, in turn, leads such uneducated children to become unskilled workers by the time they grow up. This cycle continues on and on endlessly until there is one child who, somehow, escapes this tragic wrath and has a professional job for himself. However, one child in one thousand cannot turn the tide of the cycle at all.
Gaps in research
There is often no information in regard to the working conditions of most unskilled workers. Furthermore, when there is some sort of information in regard to the working conditions of unskilled workers, it is not enough to perform a valid research upon and, at times, it is of no use at all. Even when the information can be used, it does not bring about enough interest in people to explore it. This is why health implications in relevance to unskilled workers’ working conditions are not explored at all and, leave gaping holes for researchers to conduct case studies or other reports.
How conditions of employment affect workers’ physical health
Correlation of worker injuries and work environments
It is vehemently unbearable to see how work environments for those who are completely unskilled work in their perspective. These working conditions are outrageous and defy all laws of the legislation in the United States of America. No security is given to those unskilled workers who work in such hideous working environments. They are not given proper suits to protect themselves with a and they are certainly not given any kind of recommendation as to what apparel they should be using rather than the clothes they wear to the working environment. Moreover, these unskilled workers are not supervised and not enough attention is given towards the atmosphere that is present in the working environment. Often, the working environment is left with flickering lights that damage the eyesight of unskilled workers while at times, unskilled workers are given hazardous jobs to do which they haven’t done in the past.
Harsh treatment and no relief in work environments
It is saddening to witness people actually loathing themselves and their own state deprived conditions after they face humiliating tasks over and over again without any guidance or set instructions. Of course, when no instructions are given to a worker who is unskilled, it becomes a dangerous situation. Such unskilled workers then get into trouble themselves, often by misusing equipment or by unintentional accidents. Instead of giving them proper treatment and medical attention, work environments continue to push them to their limit and challenge them to work even when they’re injured. No leave is given so that the unskilled worker who was harmed in an accident can recuperate and this is the case most scenarios. Where recuperation time is given, it is not enough and the unskilled worker never fully returns with a clear understanding of what he has to do in order to achieve a the output that is expected of him.
Conditions of employment affect workers’ mental health
How stress is related to working in a low skilled position.
Stress is often determined by the amount of work that is put upon a person on a daily basis. What is more outrageous to know is that stress is also related to hazardous work even if it is not entirely susceptible to the person whatsoever. In today’s world, the habit of assigning hazardous work is only seen when it comes to low skilled or unskilled working positions. This causes vast amount of problems for the workers in terms of accidental injuries but what it also provides is an intense level of stress from fear of failure to work on the high level output that is required as well as other kinds of output that are required from time to time. Not only does this portray the danger of getting injured but it also unleashes a barrage of stress sensors that disrupt the mental health of a low skilled or unskilled worker.
How stress affects mental health issues
Since it is now abundantly clear as to what stress does to a person when it reaches the breaking point, it can also be determined how dangerous stress really is towards a person’s mental health. Having said that, it becomes quite clear that stress usually deteriorates a person’s thinking capacity over time and nullifies his ability to work overall. With that said, it can do irreparable damage to an unskilled worker who already has a hard time working and earning for his family. When reaching a breaking point through increasing stress levels, this same person can have trouble initiating any form of work that he may desire to do as his mental capacity may be disrupted continuously or brought to a complete halt right away.
The correlation of physical health and mental health
How highly both physical and mental problems correlate to one another
It is no surprise for anyone to learn that both physical health problems and mental health problems correlate to one another in a lot of different ways. This is probably because physical conditions effect a person’s mental capacity. Humid conditions can cause a person to suffocate or lose much of his senses and working conditions with hideous environments cause an unskilled worker to have troubles in working. This emphasizes that stress can also have a lot of problems on a person’s physical health just like a person’s physical health can exert too much pressure on his mental health and stop him from functioning properly at all. Moreover, these conditions not only correlate with each other but also depend on one another highly, with mental health conditions being determined by physical conditions in many ways.
Manifestation of Stress in a person’s physical health
When a person develops enough stress through continuous work day after day, it makes the person’s motoring functions come to a grinding halt and this, in turn, causes the person to have problems when it comes to working in any kind of condition. This procedure demonstrates how stress manifests itself over the physical form of a person and how these manifestations cause harm in a person’s well-being and working output.
How people find themselves in financial crisis due to more stress and reduced physical health
The financial problems faced by High school dropouts
Many children who drop out in high schools have miserable lives. This is because these students usually don’t have work or the skill necessary for any kind of work. Also, these students face frustrating lives ahead of them, leading to an increased amount of stress within their mental capability. This causes such students to work at a less important rate than necessary and often allows these students to live a life that is even worse than the lives of unskilled workers. With more and more frustration as well as depression looming in terms of mental health for drop out students, it becomes impossible for such students to work at a renowned location and can’t even manage to work in unskilled working environments. These drastic situations also lead such students to run out of money from time to time and that is how they end up in a financial crisis most of the times during the rest of their lives.
How weird lifestyles lead to harsh conditions and financial crisis
People often love to have weird lifestyles in which they eat unhealthy food, repetitive food that is junk and does not contain as much protein as necessary. These lifestyles also contain relationships where abusive characteristics persist for long periods of time as well as drug and alcohol consumption which only seems to rise with the passage of time. These disastrous habits, coupled with the risks of smoking continuously and living frustrated lives, lead to depression in most cases and in other cases, such situations, lead to stress levels that peak beyond imagination. With such levels of stress, obviously, people tend to function slowly or not function at all and this leads to shortage of monetary funds in their life, slowly leading to the inevitable financial crisis that awaits them.
