Worker Drug Use and Workplace Policies and Programs: Results from the 1994 and 1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse |
As indicated by Table 5.5, less than 1 percent of the workers in protective service occupations in 1997 reported that they would be less likely to work for an employer who tested for drug use at hiring, whereas 6 percent of the workers in protective service occupations in 1994 reported so. In 1997 about 8 percent of workers in transportation and material moving occupations reported that they would be less likely to work for an employer who tested for drug use upon suspicion, but more than 22 percent of the workers in these occupations in 1994 reported so. From 1994 to 1997, significant decreases in the proportions of the workers who reported that they would be less likely to work for an employer who tested randomly or upon suspicion were also found among administrative support occupations.
