Summary
Employment and earnings data were used to analyze how symptom severity correlates with work status, occupation type, and earnings among 325 male Vietnam-era Veterans with severe or very severe PTSD. Veterans with more severe PTSD symptoms were more likely to work part-time or not at all. Among employed Veterans, more severe PTSD symptoms were weakly associated with having a sales or clerical position.
