Analysis of the American Productivity Audit (2001-02) indicates that "thirteen percent of the total workforce experienced a loss in productive time during a 2 week period due to a common pain condition. Headache was the most common (5.4%) pain condition resulting in lost productive time. It was followed by back pain (3.2%), arthritis pain (2%), and other musculoskeletal pain (2%)...No difference in the proportion of the workforce losing 2 hours per week of productivity due to pain [all conditions combined] was observed by age." (p. 2443, 2447)

This study is based on data reporting "lost productive time during a 2 week period from a cross-sectional study using survey data from the American Productivity Audit of a random sample of 28902 working adults in the US between August 1, 2001 and July 30, 2002."
