Stress on the job is pretty common and can have spillover effects into the rest of people's lives. Four in five employees say workplace stress affects their various relationships, according to Mental Health America's Mind the Workplace 2022 Report. And it's not just the jobs that pay a low wage that can be stressful. "There could be intensely stressful jobs that go across the spectrum of salaries," says Vicki Salemi, career expert at Monster, adding that, "It's almost like it's the great equalizer. There are jobs that are stressful that pay less and jobs that are stressful that pay more." The Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, part of the Labor Department, ranked 873 occupations by level of stress, noting the importance of accepting criticism and dealing calmly with high-stress situations in each role.
