Trends in rates of low-back strains, low-back impact injuries, and non-low-back injuries among field employees of a petroleum drilling company, 1979-1985, were examined to investigate the relationship between economic factors and the incidence of low-back and other injuries. Economic indicators included the rate of resignations, a surrogate for turnover, and the rate of layoffs. Only lost-time low-back strain rates increased during times of worker layoffs. Non-low-back injury rates were highest during periods of high turnover and no layoffs. Although the increasing age of the work force and the anxiety generated by an industry-wide depression may have played a role, it is likely that the increase in lost-time low-back strain injuries was a worker response to possible layoff.
对一家石油钻井公司1979 - 1985年野外员工的下背拉伤、下背撞击伤和非下背损伤发生率的趋势进行了研究，以调查经济因素与下背及其他损伤发生率之间的关系。经济指标包括辞职率（员工流动的一个替代指标）和裁员率。只有误工下背拉伤率在工人裁员期间有所增加。非下背损伤率在高员工流动率且无裁员期间最高。尽管劳动力年龄的增长以及全行业经济衰退引发的焦虑可能起到了一定作用，但误工下背拉伤损伤的增加很可能是工人对可能被裁员的一种反应。
