Americans say their workplaces are hazardous, hostile
Nearly half of U.S. workers surveyed in a recently released Rand Corporation report say they are exposed to unpleasant and potentially hazardous working conditions.
The 2015 American Working Conditions Survey (AWCS), which collected detailed information on a broad range of working conditions in the American workplace, also found that negative conditions go beyond the physical: nearly one in five American workers are exposed to a hostile or threatening social environment at work. Many also are required to work at high speeds and under tight deadlines.
