Stressed Out? It May Be Your Job
"I'm stressed out." If you find yourself thinking--or saying--this on a regularbasis, you might have a real problem on your hands. Job andcareer related stress has been on the rise in recent years,as occupations become more complex, and workers are takingon more and more responsibility. In fact, workplace stressis now considered an occupational illness. Many employeesundergo stress as a normal part of their jobs, but someexperience it more severely than others, to the point thatthey need time away from work. According to a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,extreme occupational stress is classified as a "neuroticreaction to stress." The survey found that thousands ofsuch cases are reported every year. The median absence fromwork for these cases was 23 days, more than four times thelevel of all nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses.And more than two-fifths of the cases resulted in 31 or morelost workdays, compared to one-fifth for all injury andillness cases. Not surprisingly, the level of workplace stress seems to betied directly to the worker's occupation. In fact, justfour industries accounted for the bulk of occupationalstress cases: Services (35 percent), manufacturing (21percent), retail trade (14 percent), and finance, insurance,and real estate (12 percent). In general, white-collar occupations had a higher proportionof stress cases than both blue-collar and serviceoccupations combined. Managerial and professionaloccupations, with 16 percent of the cases, and technical,sales, and administrative support occupations with 48percent, the highest proportions of occupational stresscases. If you're stressed out, you need to look at ways to reducethat stress before it has a negative effect on your health.High levels of stress, over time, can lead to sleepingdisorders, high blood pressure, and other physical problems.If you think your work environment is too stressful, bringthe subject up with your boss or supervisor.
