| Abstract |
The importance of an adequate and satisfying level of functioning for the course and outcome of schizophrenia has been increasingly emphasized by researchers in recent years. Employment status is a major component of the patient's functioning and is generally believed to be essential for well-being, satisfaction in life, and a better prognosis for schizophrenia illness. This article summarizes recent relevant publications concerning the employment status of schizophrenia patients and its influence on treatment outcome. Given the significant link between employment status and outcome in schizophrenia, different influencing factors of employment are discussed, as they mirror potential treatment targets. Finally, currently available treatment strategies for the improvement of employment status are outlined. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 November 2015.
All research outputs
#7,453,827
of 22,787,797 outputs
Outputs from Current Psychiatry Reports
#624
of 1,190 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#52,765
of 161,288 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Psychiatry Reports
#7
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,787,797 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,190 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.8. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 161,288 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
