    In spite of increased safety at work and less physical stress with ergonomic improvement, we are experiencing a disability epidemic. This talk will describe the epidemic and the resulting illness of worklessness which has serious consequences for the worker involved. Possible solutions to lessen the risk of long term disability and the ensuing worklessness will be discussed.
