Results from a comparison of the earnings and the labor market activity of healthy and disabled men show that poor health negatively affects annual earnings through both total hours worked and hourly rates of pay. The effect on total hours worked is a consequence of differences between healthy and unhealthy men in number of weeks worked during the year. Time spent out of the labor force is more important than unemployment to explain the differences in weeks worked annually.
