Compared to crafts and related trades workers, plant and machine operators and assemblers required more sessions to recover from LBP (MDa 0.7), as did service and sales workers (MDa 0.7). In CG and WS, differences were observed for technicians and associate professionals (MDa 1.3 and MDa 1.7, respectively), and for professionals (MDa 2.4 and MDa 1.6).
