During the first quarter, job absence rates slightly rose, though it remained well below levels recorded before the recession, according to Bloomberg BNA’s quarterly survey of job absence and turnover. 

Median rates of unscheduled absence, which exclude long-term absences and partial days out, are at 0.7 percent of scheduled worker days, representing a slight increase from 0.6 percent in the previous quarter as well as the first quarter of 2011.
