Those in the unable to work category had a significantly higher mean ACE score than all other employment categories (as well as six of the eight individual ACE categories), while those in the other category (including retirees, students, and homemakers) had a significantly lower mean ACE score than all other employment categories (also true in each of the eight individual ACE categories). It should be noted that the unemployed category had a significantly higher mean ACE score than those who were employed.
