[Results] The average CES-D score reached 16.1±7.2 and the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 44.0% of the occupational population enrolled.Education level,job position,working time,and smoking were related with depressive symptoms.High job strain,low job control,low social support,high over-commitment,and high effort-reward imbalance were risk factors for depressive symptoms.
