The article has carried a {{Globalize}} tag (US focus) since May 2009. I just added the UK figure from the Office for National Statistics, but the two countries measure different things: the BLS rate is the share of full-time workers with an absence in the reference week, while the ONS rate is the share of working hours lost to sickness. Would it make sense to add a short "Definitions by country" section that sets these side by side, maybe with a Eurostat or OECD measure as a third example? I'm also not sure whether the tag should stay until a non-English-speaking country is covered, so I've left it in place for now. Happy to draft the section if others think it would help.
