Skipping work without good reason? You have lots of company.
Absenteeism rising!

Unscheduled absenteeism at U.S. companies and organizations has climbed to its highest level since 1999, according to results of an annual nationwide survey of Human resource executives in U.S. companies and organizations.

The survey put the U.S. absenteeism rate at 2.5 percent in 2006, up from 2.3 percent a year ago and the highest since seven years ago when it was 2.7 percent. The survey, released Thursday, was conducted for CCH Inc. by the Harris Interactive consulting firm.

It also found that personal illness accounts for only 35 percent of unscheduled absences, with the rest because of family issues (24 percent), personal needs (18 percent), stress (12 percent) and entitlement mentality (11 percent).
