There are a lot of factors that can increase stress at work: Demanding bosses . . . being understaffed . . . tight timelines . . . and being in the state of Texas, apparently.
There’s a new study out on the most- and least-stressful cities to work in, and Texas dominates the most stressful list.
The analysis considered eight main factors, including hours worked per week . . . commute time . . . single-income families . . . income growth rate . . . lack of health insurance . . . and crime rates.
In the end, Houston was the most stressful, followed by Arlington, Texas . . . Dallas . . . Memphis . . . Las Vegas . . . Corpus Christi, Texas . . . Fayetteville, North Carolina . . . Fort Worth, Texas . . . Moreno Valley, California . . . and Modesto, California.
That’s five Texas cities in the Top 10 . . . and there are 10 in the Top 30.
The LEAST stressful city to work in is Madison, Wisconsin, followed by Fort Collins, Colorado . . . Fremont, California . . . Minneapolis . . . Providence, Rhode Island . . . Lincoln, Nebraska . . . Portland, Oregon . . . Seattle . . . St. Paul, Minnesota . . . and Boise, Idaho.
