During this recession, much has been written about the psychological toll of unemployment, but it turns out those with jobs are feeling stressed, too. The 2011 Work Stress Survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Everest College finds that a whopping 77% of Americans are stressed at work, with low pay the most common reason cited (14%).
The other reasons?
* Commuting (11% of workers)
* An unreasonable workload (9%)
* Annoying coworkers (8%)
* A bad boss (5%)
* Poor work-life balance (5%)
This follows on the heels of news from the American Psychological Association that 36 percent of workers report experiencing chronic work stress and almost half say low salary has a significant impact on their workplace stress.
