A recent CareerCast survey found that most Americans list employment as their predominant source of stress. Job instability played a role, but daily on-the-job stress was also a major factor.
(Canadians are likely no different when it comes to job-related stress.)
The study found that the least stressful jobs are ones that often boast both a high degree of stability and relative work flexibility; healthcare, computer and math-related occupations came out on top.
Audiologists topped the low-stress list; the field is seeing growth, isn't physically demanding, and pays well. "Low-stress" doesn't mean "easy," though. Audiologists need doctoral degrees and the job requires "a keen attention to detail and focused concentration."
The most stressful jobs? According to the survey commercial pilots and public relations executives are most at risk.
Here are the least stressful jobs in America:
- Audiologist
- Dietitian
- Software Engineer
- Computer Programmer
- Dental Hygienist
- Speech Pathologist
- Philosopher
- Mathematician
- Occupational Therapist
- Chiropractor
