The relationship between quality of life and employment status for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness was investigated. Forty individuals in the Program for Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) participated in the study. PACT is a community-based program for persons with severe and persistent mental illness which emphasizes the importance of employment in rehabilitation. Participants were interviewed using Lehman's Quality of Life Interview. A large effect size for difference between individuals who were employed and those who were unemployed was found for assessment of global quality of life. Medium and small effect sizes were found for satisfaction with family, financial situation, health and social relations, safety, and daily activities.
