Risk of depression from job stress?

Canadian researchers studied more than 4,800 people who had reported their job strain status.

For people whose jobs got less stressful, the risk of major depression dropped to 4.4 percent.

The study is in the May 1 issue of the /*American Journal of Epidemiology*/.
