Faith Without Work: Religion Helps Unemployed, Underemployed Stay Healthy

David Briggs

Exercise regularly. Eat well. Get enough sleep. Share your concerns with others. Do not lose hope.

All good advice regularly shared by career experts with people who are unemployed or going through stressful situations in the workplace.

Add one more maxim: Keep the faith.

Religion can help lower depression, maintain optimism, provide social support and offer other benefits to people left behind by the shifting demands of the global economy, new research finds.
