The Quinte Labour Council has released the following statistics in their statement this week.
Nearly half of working Canadians say their job is the most stressful part of their daily lives. 70% of workers are concerned about the psychological health and safety of their workplace. In 2023 alone, more than 8,500 workplace mental health injury claims were accepted by compensation boards, with health care, education, public services, and the trades among the hardest-hit sectors. The actual number of workers is likely far higher.
