The examination of the relationship between health and labor market success for middle-aged men indicates that poor health negatively affects annual earnings through both total hours worked and hourly rates of pay. The effect upon total hours worked is primarily a consequence of difference between healthy and unhealthy men in number of weeks worked annually, although differences in number of weekly hours also explain some of the difference. Time spent out of the labor force is somewhat more important than unemployment in explaining differences in the number of weeks worked annually although the difference between the unemployment experience of disabled and nondisabled men is not inconsequential.
