150 Best Low-Stress Jobs
|
By Laurence Shatkin and the Editors at JIST
Surveys confirm that occupational pressures are the number-one source of stress for Americans. Eighty percent of workers feel high stress on the job, and 40 percent of job turnover is due to stress.
Health and quality-of-life issues cause stressed-out workers to pursue new jobs. Job stress costs employers $300 billion annually in accidents, absenteeism, turnover, and diminished productivity.
But does less career stress sacrifice good pay and a promising future? This new book has the answer in two stress-free steps.
First, readers explore 90 "best low-stress jobs" lists ranked by over a dozen common stress factors, plus by pay, growth, openings, personality type, interests, education level, gender, age, part-time work, and self-employment.
Second, readers review descriptions of the 150 best low-stress jobs that appeal to them for a career change or career direction.
Stress factors used in the main best jobs lists and bonus lists include: - long work week
- time pressure
- level of competition
- importance of being exact or accurate
- consequence of error
- frequency of conflict
- dealing with unpleasant, angry, or physically aggressive people
- public speaking
- exposure to diseases or infections
- pace determined by speed of equipment
- cramped work space
- impact of decisions on co-workers or company results
- pressure to compromise moral values
The job descriptions include information on level of stress tolerance needed, wages, growth, openings, responsibilities, required education and courses, working conditions, related jobs, and more. Softcover. June 2008.
