Stressed out by your job and looking for a change? Chances are you work in media, and maybe should consider something in health care.
A new report on the most, and least stressful professions, showed that more than half of the 10 least-stressful jobs are in the health care, led by audiologists, who assess and treat hearing disorders.
"Professions that involve low stress have very little danger and minimal physical demands," said Tony Lee, publisher of careercast.com, a jobs website which compiled the report.
Other jobs in the field that fill the bill for low pressure and competition, with shorter work weeks, include dietician, dental hygienist, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and chiropractor.
Jobs in media, led by public relations executives, dominated the highest stress professions, according to the report, although commercial airline pilot topped the list.
"Jobs in communication can be high pressure," explained Lee, "especially for public relations executives handling crisis situations, newscasters who go on-air with little or no time for preparation and photojournalists working in dangerous environments."
Other high-stress positions included senior corporate executive, advertising account executive, architect and stockbroker.
Software engineer, computer programmer and mathematician were all rated low-stress.
Among so-called blue-collar jobs, firefighter, police officer and taxi driver topped the high-stress list, while jobs such as bookbinders, photo process workers, musical instrument repairers and auto assemblers are considered low-stress.
Researchers compiled the ranking by analyzing 200 different jobs on their environment, competitiveness and risk. They assigned a numerical value to factors that invoked stress, and whether or not that factor was central to the job being evaluated.
They also used data from the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics and Trade Associations.
感到工作壓力太大，想尋求改變?十有八九你是在媒體工作，也許你可以考慮從事保健行業。
一項針對壓力最大和最小職業的調查報告顯示，十大壓力最小的職業中，超過一半都屬于保健行業。評估和治療聽力障礙的聽力學家工作壓力最小，排在首位。
撰寫這份報告的求職網站careercast.com的發行人托尼?李說：“壓力小的職業危險系數和體力要求都很低。”
其他壓力小、競爭不激烈而且工作時間短的職業包括飲食學家、牙科保健員、語言治療師、職業治療師和脊骨神經治療師。
根據這一報告，高壓職業中媒體行業占的最多，以公關專員為首。不過，壓力最大的職業是商業航空公司的飛行員。
李解釋說，“傳媒行業的工作壓力很大，特別是要應對緊急狀況的公關專員、在廣播前準備時間很少甚至沒時間做準備的新聞播音員和在危險環境中工作的攝影記者。”
其他高壓職業包括公司高管、廣告客戶經理、建筑師和證券經紀人。
軟件工程師、電腦編程員和數學家都被評為壓力小的工作。
在高壓職業排行中位于前列的“藍領”工作有消防員、警察和出租車司機，壓力小的“藍領”工作有裝訂工人、圖片處理員、樂器維修工和汽車裝配工。
研究人員在分析了200種不同職業的工作環境、競爭強度和風險后得出了這一排行。他們對于引起壓力的因素以及這些因素是否與被評估職業密切相關進行了數值分析。
他們還采用了來自美國勞工統計局和行業協會的數據。
